Our read on each fund

MYYCProShares Short MidCap400

SVXYBProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF

In short

MYY The only -1x ETF built on the S&P MidCap 400, trading since 2006. One ticker, one dose of inverse exposure to America's mid caps, and a target that resets at every close.

SVXY Short volatility, half dose. SVXY targets one-half the inverse of a VIX short-term futures index each day, a deliberately de-tuned take on the short-vol trade, and it has run that mandate since 2011.

Stated mandate

MYY MYY seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the S&P MidCap 400.

SVXY SVXY seeks daily results equal to one-half the inverse of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index. Its objective is measured daily, so returns over longer periods can differ from the stated daily target.

Why people hold it

  • MYY Inverse funds pile into the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow. MYY is the only -1x ETF designed to rise when the S&P MidCap 400 falls on the day, so the mid-cap slice gets its own ticker.proshares.com
  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, near the typical inverse-fund fee and level with stablemates DOG and PSQ (each 0.95% net of waivers through September 30, 2027).
  • Short exposure without a margin account or a borrow: you buy and sell it like any stock, and it has been doing this job since 2006, a long run for a daily-reset product.proshares.com
  • SVXY The half-strength design is the whole idea: a -0.5x daily target rather than full inverse, so a jump in VIX futures lands with half the force of a one-for-one short.proshares.com
  • 0.95% a year sits below the typical leveraged and inverse fund, and among that crowd this is one of the stronger implementations in its peer group.
  • Launched in 2011 and actively traded, so it has a long operating history and a working market for getting in and out.

Worth knowing

  • MYY The target is one day's inverse move, reset at each close. Hold longer and compounding takes over, so multi-day results can differ from -1x the index's move over that stretch.
  • That 0.95% leans on a fee waiver running through September 30, 2027. The gross expense ratio underneath is 2.95%.
  • Small and thinly traded next to the headline inverse names, so spreads and limit orders matter more. Sibling MZZ targets -2x of the same index, with bigger daily swings.proshares.com
  • SVXY The objective resets daily. Hold longer and compounding takes over, so results over weeks or months can look nothing like half the inverse of the index.proshares.com
  • It is a commodity pool holding VIX futures, not a basket of stocks. Reporting and tax treatment follow different rules than a standard equity ETF.proshares.com
  • Pure price vehicle with no distribution stream, and volatility spikes arrive fast, which is exactly what a short-vol position is on the wrong side of.
