Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

REWCProShares UltraShort Technology

RWMBProShares Short Russell2000

In short

REW The only -2x way to lean against US tech. REW targets twice the inverse of the S&P Technology Select Sector Index, reset every single day, at 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.

RWM Short small caps at one speed: RWM targets the inverse of the Russell 2000's daily move, with no 2x or 3x multiplier on top. Trading since 2007, at 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.

Stated mandate

REW The Fund seeks daily investment results corresponding to -2x the daily performance of the S&P Technology Select Sector Index.

RWM The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the Russell 2000 Index's daily performance.

Why people hold it

  • REW ProShares bills it as the only -2x ETF built to rise when the tech sector falls on the day: a middle gear between single-short and triple-short products.proshares.com
  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, matching stablemates PSQ and DOG (each 0.95% net of waivers through that same date) and sitting near the category median.
  • Listed in 2007, which makes it one of the longer-running geared tech funds on the tape.
  • The reference is the S&P Technology Select Sector Index, the mainstream large-cap tech gauge, not a custom or narrowed basket.proshares.com
  • RWM Straight -1x, not a multiplier: it tracks the inverse of the Russell 2000's daily move, where stablemate TWM targets -2x on the same index.proshares.com
  • ProShares calls it the only -1x ETF tied to the Russell 2000, the index of the 2,000 smallest US names in the Russell 3000.proshares.comproshares.com 2
  • Trading since January 2007 and one of the busier funds in the inverse-equity aisle, so entering and exiting is rarely the hard part.
  • Fee is 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027 (1.05% gross), near what this category charges, and it rates among the strongest builds in its peer group.

Worth knowing

  • REW The -2x target applies to one day. Hold past that and compounding takes over, so results can drift away from -2x the index move, especially in choppy markets.proshares.com
  • Gross expenses run 2.84%. The 0.95% you actually pay rests on a waiver running through September 30, 2027, and waivers get renewed rather than locked in.
  • A small fund that trades lightly next to the big index shorts, so spreads and order size carry more weight here.
  • RWM The -1x target resets daily. Hold longer and compounding rules: ProShares says multi-day returns can differ significantly from the target, in amount and even direction.proshares.comproshares.com 2
  • Symmetric by design: on days the Russell 2000 climbs, the fund is built to lose roughly as much as the index gains.proshares.com
  • Fund documents tell investors to monitor holdings as frequently as daily, which puts this at the hands-on end of the shelf.proshares.com
