Inverse ETF
A fund that delivers the opposite of its index's daily return (−1x, −2x, −3x), letting investors profit from declines without shorting. The daily reset causes severe decay when held through choppy or rising markets — inverse ETFs are tactical tools measured in days, not portfolio hedges measured in years.

Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-07-17, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, fees and slippage not modeled) and do not guarantee future results.
