Our read on UST
CMost leveraged ETFs bet on stocks. UST bets on duration: twice the daily move of a 7-10 year Treasury index, in a plain brokerage-account wrapper. It has been running since 2010.
UST seeks daily investment results before fees and expenses that correspond to twice the daily performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index.
Why people hold it
- Rare pure rate exposure on the leveraged shelf, which is dominated by stock-index products: 2x the daily move of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index.proshares.com
- The leverage lives inside the fund, so a duration view needs no margin account and no futures paperwork, just one ticker.proshares.com
- Launched January 2010, so it has traded through a full sweep of rate regimes, from near-zero yields to a hiking cycle.
- Run by ProShares, one of the largest sponsors of leveraged and inverse ETFs, with a deep bench of daily-reset funds.
Worth knowing
- Leverage resets daily. Hold it for weeks and compounding takes over; results can differ a lot from 2x the index move over that stretch.
- At 1.18% a year it costs more than the typical leveraged fund, and it is a small, lightly traded product, so spreads and limit orders matter.
- Direxion's TYD targets the same index at 3x daily. UST is the milder dose, which also means less movement per dollar committed.

UST Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 13.2%
How it’s calculated: standard deviation
The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Total returns include reinvested distributions.
- −0.23
How it’s calculated: Sharpe ratio
Subtract each month’s Treasury-bill return from the fund’s monthly total return.
Divide the average of those excess returns by their sample standard deviation, then multiply by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Each month uses the Treasury yield quoted at the end of the previous month.
- −42.9%
How it’s calculated: maximum drawdown
The largest percentage decline from an earlier peak, using total returns with reinvested distributions.
Uses up to five years through the last close, with at least 12 months required.
