Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

REKBProShares Short Real Estate

SVXYBProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF

In short

REK The calm way to lean against real estate: REK aims to deliver -1x the daily move of the S&P Real Estate Select Sector Index, with no extra leverage stacked on top. Fee is 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.

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

REK The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the daily performance of the S&P Real Estate Select Sector Index.

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

  • REK ProShares bills it as the only -1x ETF on the real estate sector, so the bearish tilt arrives without -2x or -3x daily math on top.proshares.com
  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, matching ProShares stablemates DOG and PSQ (both 0.95% net of waivers through the same date) and near the category median.
  • Listed in March 2010, it has been a live, tradable short-real-estate ticker through more than a decade of rate shocks and office-market stress.
  • Scores in the upper tier of a crowded inverse and leveraged peer group, one of the steadier builds in a corner known for rough edges.
  • 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

  • REK The -1x target resets every day. Hold it for weeks and compounding can pull your result away from -1x the index's path, most visibly in choppy markets.proshares.com
  • Small fund, light tape. Thin volume can widen the spread you pay getting in and out.
  • Gross expenses are 1.57%. That is the sticker price if the waiver is not renewed past September 30, 2027.
  • 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.
