Competitive Landscape
The competitive landscape consists of other inverse and leveraged ETFs tracking broad market indices. DXD offers specific leverage against the Dow Jones Industrial Average, providing a niche offering. Compared to its competitors, DXD's performance is affected by the daily reset of its leverage, and may not match the return of holding short positions for long periods.
Financial Performance
Historical Performance: Historical performance is highly dependent on the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and is subject to significant daily fluctuations. Data unavailable for specific performance figures.
Benchmark Comparison: The ETF's performance is benchmarked against twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Tracking error can occur due to fees, expenses, and the daily reset of leverage.
