Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DDMBProShares Ultra Dow30

TSXUDDirexion Daily Semiconductors Top 5 Bull 2X ETF

In short

DDM The Dow dates to 1896. DDM is the only ETF built to double its daily move: 2x the Dow Jones Industrial Average, reset every single day, for 0.95% a year, running since 2006.

TSXU Most leveraged chip plays spread across the whole industry. This one goes narrow: 2x the daily move of an equal-weighted index of five semiconductor giants, reset every single day.

Stated mandate

DDM The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to twice the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

TSXU The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Top 5 Equal Weight Index.

Why people hold it

  • DDM The only ETF that targets 2x the daily return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Leveraged blue-chip exposure through one ticker, no margin account needed.proshares.com
  • Trading since 2006, and its day-to-day results have stayed close to the 2x daily target across nearly two decades of market cycles.proshares.com
  • Easy to get in and out of for a fund its size, and one of the strongest implementations in its peer group of leveraged bull funds.
  • The 0.95% fee sits near the typical charge for leveraged funds, and it is the standing rate, not a number propped up by a temporary waiver.
  • TSXU Concentration is the point: the reference index holds five of the largest US-listed chip names, equal weighted, so no single mega-cap swallows the basket.direxion.com
  • Cost sits near the middle of the leveraged-bull pack: 0.97% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027, against 0.94% for broad-basket 2x semis fund USD.
  • Direxion built it as a matched pair, a 2X bull and a -2X bear on the same index, so traders can lean either way with identical mechanics.direxion.com

Worth knowing

  • DDM The 2x target resets daily. Hold for weeks and compounding takes over, so results can land well away from twice the Dow's move, especially in choppy markets.proshares.com
  • The Dow is price-weighted across 30 blue chips, so a high-priced stock swings it more than a far larger company does.spglobal.com
  • Sibling leveraged funds cost a little less: QLD charges 0.89% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, against a 0.96% gross rate.
  • TSXU The 2x target applies to one day. Hold longer and each day's return compounds off the last, so multi-day results can drift well away from 2x the index.direxion.com
  • Five holdings, no diversification cushion. The fund is non-diversified, and one chip name's rough session moves the entire portfolio.direxion.com
  • That 0.97% is a waived figure: gross runs 5.11%, with the waiver in place through September 1, 2027.
