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

UYGAProShares Ultra Financials

In short

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.

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

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.

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

  • 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
  • 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

  • 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.
  • 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.
