Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DOGBProShares Short Dow30

SIJCProShares UltraShort Industrials

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.

SIJ Wall Street's only two-times inverse play on the industrials sector in ETF form: one ticker, machinery-to-airlines exposure flipped upside down, reset at the end of every trading day since 2007.

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.

SIJ SIJ seeks, before fees and expenses, daily investment results equal to twice the inverse of the S&P Industrials Select Sector Index’s daily performance. It is intended to gain when the industrials sector declines.

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.
  • SIJ ProShares calls it the only -2x ETF built to rise when the industrials sector falls on the day. No other wrapper offers that exact dial.proshares.com
  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, matching ProShares staples DOG and PSQ (both 0.95% net of waivers through the same date) and near the category median.
  • Trading since January 2007, which makes it one of the original leveraged-inverse sector funds, built and run by the shop that pioneered them.
  • Short exposure comes from swaps and futures on the index, not borrowed stock in a margin account.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
  • SIJ The -2x target resets daily. Hold longer and compounding can push results well away from -2x the index's move over that stretch, especially in choppy markets.proshares.com
  • Gross expenses run 3.82% before the waiver, and that waiver runs out September 30, 2027. Renewal is up to ProShares.
  • A small fund that trades lightly next to the broad-market inverse names, so spreads and execution costs carry more weight.
