DOGBProShares Short Dow30

FXPCProShares UltraShort FTSE China 50

In short

DOG The plain-vanilla short on the Dow: DOG aims to deliver the inverse of the index's move each day, with no 2x or 3x bolted on. Running since 2006, and ProShares bills it as the only -1x ETF built on the Dow.

FXP The only US ETF built to move two times the opposite of the FTSE China 50, the 50 largest Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong. Live since 2007, and it resets daily: a trading instrument, not a set-and-forget China short.

Stated mandate

DOG DOG seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's daily performance.

FXP FXP seeks daily results, before fees and expenses, equal to two times the inverse of the FTSE China 50 Index’s daily performance. It is intended to gain when that index declines and lose when it rises.

Why people hold it

  • DOG 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027 (1.00% gross), which sits near the typical fee among leveraged and inverse funds.
  • Sticks close to its daily inverse target, one of the tighter implementations in its peer group.proshares.com
  • Actively traded for an inverse fund, so getting in and back out is rarely the hard part.
  • Live since 2006, so the mechanism has run through the financial crisis, 2020 and every tape since.
  • FXP One ticker, in an ordinary brokerage account, targeting -2x the FTSE China 50's daily move. ProShares calls it the only -2x ETF built on that index.proshares.com
  • Fee is 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, near the category norm for leveraged and inverse funds and far below the 2.36% gross.
  • Listed in November 2007, making it one of the longest-running inverse China funds around, with mechanics investors have had years to get to know.proshares.com
  • Want half the gearing? Sibling YXI shorts the same index at -1x, also 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.proshares.com

Worth knowing

  • DOG The target resets every day. Hold longer than a day and the result depends on the path the Dow takes, not just its direction.proshares.com
  • If the waiver lapses after September 30, 2027, the fee steps up toward the 1.00% gross figure.
  • The Dow is 30 price-weighted names, so this is a short on a narrow, old-school slice of the market rather than the broad tape.proshares.com
  • FXP Daily reset means multi-day results can drift far from -2x the index move, and choppy markets grind value down even if China ends flat.proshares.com
  • It trades lightly next to the big broad-market inverse funds, so spreads and order size deserve more attention.
  • Exposure is Hong Kong listed large caps, not mainland A-shares or smaller names, so it leans against one slice of China, not the whole market.proshares.com
