TARKDTradr 2X Long Innovation ETF

UYGAProShares Ultra Financials

In short

TARK Most leveraged ETFs double an index. TARK doubles a stock picker: it targets 2x the daily move of ARKK, ARK's actively managed innovation fund, in one ticker. Costs 1.48% net of a waiver through July 31, 2027, with leverage reset daily.

UYG Listed in January 2007, a year before the banking crash, UYG targets 2x the daily move of the financial stocks in the S&P 500. A veteran of the leveraged shelf, priced at 0.93% with no fee waiver propping that number up.

Stated mandate

TARK The Fund seeks daily investment results equal to two times the daily performance of the ARK Innovation ETF. It targets this result for one trading day only.

UYG UYG seeks pre-expense daily results equal to 2x the daily performance of the S&P Financial Select Sector Index. It is designed to provide magnified financials-sector exposure on a daily basis.

Why people hold it

  • TARK One ticker for 2x daily ARKK. The fund uses swaps and rebalances daily, targeting double the ARK Innovation ETF's one-day move without a margin account.tradretfs.com
  • The reference asset is a live active portfolio, not an index, so exposure shifts as ARK's managers trade rather than on a reconstitution calendar.tradretfs.com
  • Trading since 2022, it has stayed close to its stated daily 2x target, and the daily rebalance resets exposure each session instead of letting it drift.tradretfs.com
  • UYG One of the originals: on the tape since January 30, 2007, still running the same mandate of 2x the daily performance of the S&P Financial Select Sector Index.proshares.com
  • At 0.93% with no waiver doing the work, it sits near the median fee of its leveraged peer group and level with sibling ROM (0.93%). QLD is 0.89%, but net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.
  • The whole sector in one ticker: banks, insurers and capital-markets firms from the S&P 500, roughly 80 names, geared daily.proshares.com
  • Stands in the top tier of the leveraged bull funds we grade, a group of close to a hundred tickers.

Worth knowing

  • TARK At 1.48% net of a waiver through July 31, 2027 (1.78% gross), it sits above the category median. Index-based 2x funds like QLD (0.89%, net of a waiver through September 30, 2027) and ROM (0.93%) cost less.
  • Leverage resets daily, so a multi-day result compounds off each day's move and can land well off 2x the period change, especially after choppy stretches.tradretfs.com
  • It is a small fund that trades lightly next to the big index-based leveraged ETFs, which can show up as wider spreads at the point of trade.
  • UYG The 2x target is a one-day target and resets each day. Over longer holds the result comes from compounding daily moves, and in choppy markets that can land well off twice the index's return for the period.proshares.com
  • One sector, doubled. Financials move with rates, credit conditions and deal flow, and UYG amplifies that daily swing in both directions.
  • It changes hands less than the headline leveraged funds, so the spread is worth a look before you place an order.
