Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DIGCProShares Ultra Energy

XLEXCCorgi U.S. Energy 2x Daily ETF

In short

DIG Two times the daily move of the S&P 500's energy sector, delivered in stocks rather than crude futures. Trading since 2007, DIG is one of the originals in leveraged energy, built on big integrated oil names instead of wildcat drillers.

XLEX No data

Stated mandate

DIG The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to twice the daily performance of the S&P Energy Select Sector Index.

XLEX No data

Why people hold it

  • DIG Leverage on the blue-chip benchmark: twice the daily move of the S&P Energy Select Sector Index, a cap-weighted slice of S&P 500 energy names, so the big integrateds set the pace.sec.gov
  • Stocks, not barrels. The exposure sits on a concentrated basket of roughly 30 energy equities, with no crude futures roll in the machinery, unlike peer UCO.proshares.com
  • Running since January 2007, through multiple oil booms and busts, it is one of the longest-standing 2x energy funds, and it passes along underlying stock dividends quarterly.

XLEX No data

Worth knowing

  • DIG Leverage rebalances daily, so returns over any longer hold can differ significantly from 2x the index; ProShares notes a near-50% one-day index drop could wipe out the investment.proshares.comsec.gov
  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027 (1.06% gross) sits near the category median, while newer rival XLEX lists 0.45% and ERX 0.91%.
  • One of the less-traded funds in its corner of the market, so bid-ask spreads and limit orders matter more here than with the biggest leveraged energy names.
