PLTGALeverage Shares 2x Long PLTR Daily ETF

PLTUBDirexion Daily PLTR Bull 2X Shares

In short

PLTG The low-cost way to double down on Palantir for a single session. PLTG charges 0.78% to chase 200% of PLTR's daily move, undercutting every rival in the 2x PLTR pack, and it has stuck close to that daily target.

PLTU Palantir with the volume turned up. PLTU aims for 200% of PLTR's daily move and resets every night, so it behaves like a trading tool rather than a buy-and-hold sleeve, and it charges less than the median 2x PLTR fund.

Stated mandate

PLTG The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the daily performance of Palantir Technologies stock (PLTR), less fees and expenses.

PLTU The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 200% of the performance of Palantir Technologies Inc. common shares, before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • PLTG Cheapest sticker in the 2x PLTR pack at 0.78%, with no waiver propping it up, versus PLTA at 0.95% (net of a waiver through September 30, 2027), PLTU at 0.97% and PTIR at 1.04%.
  • Day to day it has landed close to its 200% target, one of the tighter implementations among 2x PLTR funds.
  • A registered 1940 Act fund listed on Nasdaq, not a bank-issued note, so the leverage sits inside a regulated fund wrapper.leverageshares.com
  • PLTU Mechanically simple: 200% of Palantir's daily move, before fees, reset each session. Direxion runs the matching bear side (PLTD) if you want the other direction.direxion.com
  • 0.97% expense ratio, below the median for the 2x PLTR shelf. Cheap is relative in leveraged land, but the gap matters most to people who trade it often.
  • Has tracked its stated 200%-of-daily target closely, one of the stronger implementations among the Palantir leverage funds we cover.
  • Several hundred million dollars in assets and one of the more actively traded names in the PLTR leverage group, which generally supports tighter spreads.

Worth knowing

  • PLTG The leverage resets each day. Hold longer and compounding takes over: in choppy markets the fund can lose value even if PLTR ends up flat.leverageshares.com
  • One stock, doubled. A single earnings call or contract headline hits twice as hard, in both directions.
  • Launched in 2025 and still small by assets, so the track record is short and trading is moderate rather than deep.
  • PLTU Daily reset means path matters. Hold through choppy stretches and the result can drift well away from twice Palantir's return over that same span.direxion.com
  • One stock, doubled. A 10% down day in PLTR is roughly a 20% down day here, and there is no diversification anywhere in the wrapper.
  • PLTG lists a lower fee (0.75%) on the same 2x PLTR exposure, and this one launched in December 2024, so the track record is still short.
