This ETF offers 2x daily short leverage to the broad-based Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Index, making it a powerful tool for investors with a bearish short-term outlook for U.S. energy large cap stocks. Investors should note that DUG’s leverage resets on a daily basis, which results in compounding of returns when held for multiple periods. DUG can be a powerful tool for sophisticated investors, but should be avoided by those with a low risk tolerance or a buy-and-hold strategy.
