ROMAProShares Ultra Technology

YCLBProShares Ultra Yen

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.

YCL The only US ETF built to double the yen's daily move against the dollar. A one-day macro tool wrapped as a commodity pool, on the shelf since 2008 for traders with a view on dollar-yen.

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.

YCL YCL seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to two times the daily performance of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar.

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
  • YCL One of a kind: ProShares states no other ETF targets 2x the daily performance of the yen versus the dollar. The alternative route is futures, forwards or a margin account.proshares.com
  • 0.95% a year sits under the typical fee for leveraged funds, and the fund has been running since 2008, through multiple dollar-yen regimes.
  • The mechanism is plain: two times the yen's daily move against the dollar, reset each day, traded through one ticker in an ordinary brokerage account.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.
  • YCL Daily reset compounds. Over any stretch longer than a day, results can land well away from 2x the yen's move, and choppy currency markets widen that gap.proshares.com
  • Structured as a commodity pool under ProShares Trust II, so it sends a Schedule K-1 at tax time rather than a 1099.proshares.com
  • Trading is light next to the big equity-index leveraged funds like UDOW and QLD, which can show up as wider spreads around the quote.
