Inverse ETFs that profit when major market indices decline

Index inverse ETFs let you profit when major market indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, or Dow Jones decline. They trade like regular stocks — no margin account or short-selling approval required. Options range from 1x to 3x leverage.

⚠️

Leveraged Products Warning

2x and 3x leveraged ETFs reset daily and are designed for short-term trading only. Holding periods longer than one day can result in returns that differ significantly from the expected multiple.
