Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

PLTDADirexion Daily PLTR Bear 1X ETF

TSLSADirexion Daily TSLA Bear 1X ETF

In short

PLTD No data

TSLS The plain short on Tesla: TSLS aims for -1x the stock's daily move, with no leverage stacked on top. Among the small group of Tesla bear funds, it is the cheapest, and the one that dials risk down rather than up.

Stated mandate

PLTD No data

TSLS The Fund seeks daily inverse investment results by maintaining short exposure to TSLA of approximately -100% of its net assets and generally rebalancing that exposure each trading day.

Why people hold it

PLTD No data

  • TSLS Cheapest of the Tesla short funds at 0.95%, undercutting TSDD (1.13%) and TSLZ (1.05%), and running well below the typical inverse single-stock ETF.
  • Inverse, not leveraged inverse. One unit of short Tesla exposure per dollar, which keeps daily compounding drag milder than the -2x versions of the same trade.direxion.com
  • Trading since 2022 and one of the stronger implementations in the inverse single-stock crowd, with enough daily volume to make in-and-out trading practical.

Worth knowing

PLTD No data

  • TSLS Exposure resets every trading day. Over any stretch longer than a day, Tesla's volatility compounds and results can drift well away from -1x the stock's move.direxion.com
  • Direxion calls it a short-term trading vehicle that is not appropriate for investors who will not actively monitor it.sec.gov
  • One company, one story. An earnings print, a product event or a headline about its CEO moves the whole position.
