ROMAProShares Ultra Technology

UGEBProShares Ultra Consumer Staples

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.

UGE Leverage pointed at the market's sleepiest aisle. UGE aims for twice the daily move of the S&P 500's consumer staples names, the soap-soda-and-cereal corner, and it has been doing it since 2007.

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.

UGE The fund seeks daily returns, before fees and expenses, equal to twice the daily performance of the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector 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
  • UGE Targets 2x the daily performance of the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index, which measures the staples companies inside the S&P 500. Roughly 40 names, one ticker.spglobal.com
  • Costs 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, versus 2.02% gross. That lands near the typical fee for leveraged equity funds and matches stablemate DDM at 0.95%.
  • Launched in 2007, giving it a long operating history for a geared sector fund, and it sits in the upper tier of the leveraged long funds we cover.
  • Staples leverage is a thin shelf. Most geared sector products chase tech, semis or financials, so a 2x line on toothpaste and groceries is a rarer tool.proshares.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.
  • UGE The 2x target resets every day. Held longer, daily rebalancing and compounding can push results away from twice the index's move over that stretch, in either direction.proshares.com
  • Assets are small and the shares trade thinly next to the headline geared funds, which tends to show up as wider bid-ask spreads.
  • Distributions come quarterly, but the stated objective is the daily index multiple, not income.
