SPXU ETF

The ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 ETF aims to provide triple the inverse daily performance of the S&P 500, ideal for bearish market outlooks. The ETF is highly leveraged and suitable for short-term trading, not long-term holding due to an elevated expense ratio and numerous medium-and-long-term tailwinds for US stocks. Arguments for a long SPXU position include election uncertainty, high concentration and elevated valuation of the S&P 500, as well as passive investor inflows.

SPXU is a 3x leveraged inverse bet on the S&P 500 with a 10.74% TTM dividend yield from US Treasuries. While the dividend is attractive, it is more of a quirk than something we can effectively capture. The fund's leveraged nature comes with high risk warnings and negative compounding that amplifies losses over time.

ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 is a triple-leveraged, inverse ETF that aims to produce three times the negative daily return of the S&P 500. SPXU tends to lose value over time due to betting against an asset that generally rises in value and suffers from compounding losses. Historical data suggests that SPXU is only successful during periods of market chaos and downward momentum, making it an unreliable trading or investment vehicle.

Leveraged ETF prices drift due to beta-slippage. ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 ETF has experienced both positive and negative drift in its history. In volatile times, it is recommended to use ETFs with less leverage for hedging purposes.

The SPXU ETF carries significant risks, including leverage risk, compounding risk, market risk, and credit risk. It is more suitable for short-term trading than long-term investing.
