ROMAProShares Ultra Technology

UBOTDDirexion Daily Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Automation Index Bull 2X ETF

In short

ROM The original 2x tech trade. Since 2007, ROM has aimed at twice the daily move of the S&P 500's technology sector: a double dose in a category now stacked with triples.

UBOT A geared bet on the robot-and-AI build-out: UBOT aims for 200% of the daily move of a global robotics and artificial intelligence index. Direxion dialed it down from 3x to 2x in 2020, so it is the same theme at a tamer daily multiple.

Stated mandate

ROM ROM seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to twice the daily performance of the S&P Technology Select Sector SM Index.

UBOT The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the performance of the Indxx Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index.

Why people hold it

  • ROM Two times, not three. A 2x daily target means smaller swings and less compounding drag than a 3x fund chasing the same sector.sec.gov
  • Live since January 2007, so it has run through the 2008 crash and the full tech cycle since. Long mileage is rare in geared funds.
  • 0.93% a year, flat, with no waiver propping it up. Peer QLD runs 0.89%, but only net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.
  • One of the strongest implementations in the leveraged-bull pack, from an issuer that has run geared funds since the category's early days.proshares.com
  • UBOT Rare wrapper: 2x daily exposure to a global robotics and AI basket in one ticker, no margin account or swap desk required.
  • Direxion cut the fund from 3x to 2x after the close on October 29, 2020. Same theme, smaller daily swings than the original build.sec.gov
  • Listed since 2018, which puts it among the longer-running geared thematic funds rather than a fresh launch chasing the AI headline.
  • The target is written down plainly: 200% of the daily performance of the Indxx Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index, before fees and expenses.direxion.com

Worth knowing

  • ROM The 2x target resets at each close, so results over weeks or months depend on the path the sector takes, not just where it ends up.sec.govproshares.com
  • Trades thinner than the category's headline names, so spreads and limit orders matter, especially in size.
  • About 80 tech names from the S&P 500. That is one concentrated sector bet, doubled, in both directions.
  • UBOT Costs sit above the category median: 1.32% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027 (1.35% gross), versus 0.89% for QLD, itself net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.
  • The leverage resets daily and compounds. Held longer than a day, especially through choppy stretches, results can diverge sharply from 2x the index move for the period.sec.gov
  • It is a small, lightly traded fund next to index-based geared names like QLD and ROM, so spreads and order size are worth a look before you trade.
