Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DOGBProShares Short Dow30

QQQDCDirexion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X 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.

QQQD Fading the Magnificent 7 without a leverage multiplier: QQQD aims for -100% of the Indxx Magnificent 7 Index's daily move, one-for-one, at 0.50% net of a waiver through September 1, 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.

QQQD The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 100% of the inverse performance of the Indxx Magnificent 7 Index, before fees and expenses.

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.
  • QQQD One-for-one inverse, not 2x or 3x. A 1% index gain is designed to show up as roughly a 1% fund loss that day, and the reverse on down days, with no leverage stacked on top.direxion.com
  • 0.50% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027, below the category median and below the 0.95% at PSQ and DOG (net of waivers through September 30, 2027).
  • Surgical target: the short exposure is to the Magnificent 7 basket itself, not a broad Nasdaq index where those seven names get diluted by dozens of others.direxion.com
  • Despite launching in 2024, it stands in the upper half of a crowded bear and inverse 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
  • QQQD Exposure resets every day. Hold longer than a day and compounding means the result can drift from the simple inverse of the index's move over that stretch.direxion.com
  • Seven mega-caps drive everything. One earnings surprise or one AI headline can move the whole basket, with no other holdings to soften it.direxion.com
  • That 0.50% is a net figure. Gross expenses run 1.08%, so the cost picture shifts if the waiver is not extended past September 1, 2027.
