Our read on each fund

CUREADirexion Daily Healthcare Bull 3X ETF

UDOWAProShares UltraPro Dow30

In short

CURE Healthcare is the market's defensive sector. CURE straps three-times daily leverage to it, aiming for 300% of the Health Care Select Sector Index's daily move across drugmakers, insurers and device names. A trading tool with a one-day clock, running since 2011.

UDOW The only 3x daily play on the Dow: 30 blue-chip names, price-weighted, reset every session. It is the industrial cousin of the semis-and-Nasdaq crowd that fills the leveraged aisle, and it has run since 2010.

Stated mandate

CURE The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 300% of the performance of the Health Care Select Sector Index.

UDOW The Fund seeks daily results equal to three times the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average before fees and expenses. It uses equity securities, derivatives, and money-market instruments to pursue that daily leveraged exposure.

Why people hold it

  • CURE Fee is 0.94%, below what the typical leveraged bull fund charges. On a geared product you rent by the day, that gap is real money.
  • One job, plainly stated: 300% of the daily performance of the Health Care Select Sector Index, roughly 70 large-cap US healthcare names. No stock picking, no style drift.direxion.com
  • Trading since 2011, a long tenure for a geared sector fund, and one of the stronger builds among leveraged bull ETFs.
  • UDOW ProShares calls UDOW the only ETF targeting 3x the daily move of the Dow. In a 3x aisle crowded with semiconductor and Nasdaq bets, the blue-chip index has exactly one lever.proshares.com
  • The Dow is a price-weighted measure of 30 US blue chips, so the exposure leans industrials, financials and health care instead of megacap tech.spglobal.com
  • Trading since 2010, it has run through several full market cycles and stays actively traded, which matters when the holding period is hours rather than years.
  • Among the stronger implementations in its 3x bull peer group, it stays close to its stated daily target and trades with the depth short-horizon traders look for.

Worth knowing

  • CURE The leverage resets every day. Hold past the closing bell and compounding takes over, so multi-day results can land far from 3x the index over that stretch.
  • Gearing is symmetrical. A bad day for healthcare, drug-pricing headlines or an FDA surprise, comes through roughly tripled.
  • One sector, about 70 stocks, then leverage on top. Concentration and gearing stack, so daily swings dwarf a broad-market fund's.
  • UDOW The 3x target resets every day. Over longer stretches, compounding and volatility can push results away from 3x the index move, as the prospectus spells out.proshares.com
  • At 0.94% with no waiver propping it up, cost sits near the typical 3x bull fund; TQQQ charges 0.78% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.
  • Exposure is built with derivatives and cash instruments alongside stocks, so counterparty and derivative risk ride along with the market call.proshares.com
