Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DOGBProShares Short Dow30

YXICProShares Short 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.

YXI The one-speed China short. YXI aims for -1x the daily move of the FTSE China 50, Hong Kong's Chinese blue chips, and resets every day. 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.

YXI YXI seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the FTSE China 50 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.
  • YXI Unleveraged inverse: it targets -1x the index's daily move, while stablemate FXP runs -2x on the exact same index. Same China exposure, one gear instead of two.proshares.com
  • Aims at the short side of a real benchmark: the FTSE China 50 holds 50 of the largest, most liquid Chinese stocks trading in Hong Kong (H shares, red chips, P chips).jpx.co.jp
  • Fee sits near the typical leveraged-and-inverse fund at 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, the same net fee as FXP (also waived through that date).
  • Trading since 2010 as a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, not a commodity-pool wrapper.

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
  • YXI The -1x target applies to a single day. Hold longer and daily compounding can pull results away from -1x the index over that stretch, especially in choppy markets.proshares.com
  • That 0.95% is net of a waiver through September 30, 2027. The gross expense ratio is 3.46%, so the cap has an end date on it.
  • Small and lightly traded next to the big US index inverses, which can mean wider spreads. Limit orders do more work here than market orders.
