Our read on each fund

DOGBProShares Short Dow30

QIDBProShares UltraShort QQQ

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.

QID One of ProShares' original geared funds, live since 2006: QID aims for two times the inverse of the Nasdaq-100's daily move, resetting every night. Fee is 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.

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.

QID The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to two times the inverse performance of the Nasdaq-100 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.
  • QID Day in, day out it lands close to its stated two-times-inverse target, one of the tighter implementations in the leveraged and inverse group.
  • Very actively traded, which matters when the holding period is measured in hours rather than years.
  • Same 0.95% net (waived through September 30, 2027) as single-short sibling PSQ, whose 0.95% net is waived to that same date, for twice the daily gear.
  • Trading since July 2006, through two decades of market cycles, and priced near the typical fee for leveraged and inverse funds.

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
  • QID The mandate is one day only. Over longer stretches returns compound and usually differ from twice the inverse of the index, and volatility can hurt badly.sec.gov
  • ProShares' own filings say shareholders should actively manage and monitor these funds, as frequently as daily.sec.gov
  • Leverage runs both directions: a Nasdaq-100 that rises on the day moves this fund down about twice as much, before fees.
