DOGBProShares Short Dow30

JDSTCDirexion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bear 2X ETF

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.

JDST The gold trade's wildest corner, played from the short side. JDST targets 200% of the inverse of the junior gold miners index each day, then resets at the bell. A tactical instrument, priced below the leveraged-bear norm.

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.

JDST JDST seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the inverse performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index.

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.
  • JDST Charges 0.92% a year, below the going rate in the leveraged bear aisle, where fees usually sting.
  • One job, stated plainly: 200% of the inverse of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index, daily, before fees. No manager discretion, no drift into other bets.direxion.com
  • Actively traded, which is what counts for a vehicle built to be held in short stretches and watched every day.
  • Running since 2013, through full boom and bust cycles in gold, and one of the stronger builds in its leveraged bear peer group.

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
  • JDST The -2x target applies to a single day. Hold longer and compounding takes the wheel: results can diverge sharply from twice the index's inverse move, especially in choppy markets.direxion.com
  • Junior miners are the twitchiest slice of gold equities. Double the exposure and flip the sign, and daily moves get large in both directions.
  • The asset base is small, something to weigh when sizing a position. Distributions, when paid, come on a quarterly schedule.
