DDM vs XCOM

DDMBProShares Ultra Dow30

XCOMCCorgi All Commodities 2x Daily 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.

XCOM Geared commodity exposure in a category dominated by leveraged stock-index trades: XCOM aims for about two times the daily move of a commodity basket, at 0.45% a year, well under the typical leveraged-ETF fee.

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.

XCOM The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to approximately two times the daily performance of its commodity-related underlying exposure. The trust describes this as a single-day objective pursued through leveraged instruments.

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.

• XCOM 0.45% a year is less than half the going rate for leveraged funds, where the top-scoring names (DDM, QLD, ROM) all sit north of 0.90%.
• Commodities, not another 2x tech or Dow bet. Its peer leaderboard is stacked with geared equity-sector funds, so a broad commodity basket is a genuinely different flavor of leverage.
• Registered as a 1940 Act fund rather than a commodity partnership, so shareholders get standard fund reporting instead of partnership paperwork.

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.

• XCOM The 2x objective resets every day. Hold longer than a day and your result reflects compounding, which choppy commodity markets can grind against even if the index ends up where it started.
• A 2026 launch, arriving small next to geared funds that have traded through multiple cycles. Younger, lighter-traded funds can carry wider spreads.
• The filings describe the commodity exposure at a high level. Read the current prospectus for the exact index, instruments and rebalance mechanics before sizing a position.
