Exclusive Story
These 3 ETFs Are Suitable for Ultra-Bearish InvestorsBy Nathan Reiff. Published: 4/11/2026. 
Key Points
- The field of inverse leveraged ETFs is growing, and -3x funds are available with a range of strategies incorporating industry-specific themes down to single-stock approaches.
- Tech bears may find that WEBS, FNGD, and RGTZ provide negative leveraged exposure to different segments of the space.
- WEBS is the broadest of these, focusing on a group of around 40 internet companies, while RGTZ is the narrowest with -2x leveraged exposure to Rigetti Computing.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a “wealthy man”
There is no shortage of reasons for investors to be bearish in April 2026. From uncertainties surrounding the Iran war and the energy market to questions about the future of artificial intelligence and its implications for the workforce, those not pleased with the market's direction might look for ways to profit from their expectation that things could worsen. Investors with a particularly strong conviction that a downturn is imminent and an appetite for significant risk may want to consider exchange-traded instruments that leverage market bearishness for profit potential: bearish leveraged ETFs and similar products. The following three funds range from exposure to broader industries to exposure to a single stock, allowing bearish investors to tailor the focus of their positions to match their market view. A Powerful Bet Against Leading Internet Companies
For a moment…
Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.
Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.
Because my research has led me to believe we’re risking World War 3 with Iran for a completely different reason. Click here to find out what it is.
The Direxion Daily Dow Jones Internet Bear 3X Shares (NYSEARCA: WEBS) is a 3x inverse leveraged play on the Dow Jones Internet Composite Index. The index targets companies that derive at least half of their sales from the internet and that have a three-month average market capitalization of at least $100 million. Despite that seemingly narrow focus, the index covers a diverse mix of tech and consumer firms — from retailers like Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) to networking and hardware names like Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) and streamers such as Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX). In total, the index holds roughly 40 names. WEBS seeks -3x the daily performance of that index. When the index falls over a single trading day, WEBS aims to rise roughly three times that amount; conversely, WEBS magnifies losses by the same factor on days when the index rises. Like most leveraged products, WEBS is high-risk: its leverage resets daily, which requires active management to limit the effects of volatility decay if held beyond short-term trades. In exchange for that risk, the fund currently offers a dividend yield of 2.6% and the potential for significant single-day gains. Its expense ratio is 1.07%, which is modest relative to some other highly leveraged vehicles. A Narrower Focus for Inverse Leveraged Exposure to FANG+ StocksThe FANG+ companies may have lost some of their hype, but they still account for an outsized share of the market and significantly influence the S&P 500's performance. For investors expecting a drop in this concentrated segment, the MicroSectors FANG+ Index -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN (NYSEARCA: FNGD) offers a way to express that view. FNGD is a -3x inverse leveraged ETN tied to the NYSE FANG+ Index, which focuses on 10 of the largest tech leaders, including the original FANG names plus other heavyweights like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA). As with WEBS, FNGD is designed for very active, short-term traders who have a conviction that the FANG+ group will fall over a single trading period. Its leverage resets daily, making it unsuitable as a long-term buy-and-hold position. The product's expense ratio is 0.95%, making it slightly less expensive than the other leveraged funds discussed here. Ultra-Targeted Bearish Bets on Single NamesSingle-name ETFs have proliferated recently, reflecting investor demand for concentrated, strategic bets on individual companies. These vehicles provide amplified exposure to one stock at a time, making them the most targeted — and often the riskiest — options on this list. The Defiance Daily Target 2X Short RGTI ETF (NASDAQ: RGTZ) lets bears place a targeted bet against Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI), a pure-play in the quantum computing sector. Rigetti has struggled recently — down nearly 40% year-to-date — as quantum firms contend with slow adoption, a narrow customer base and limited profitability. A targeted product like RGTZ comes with trade-offs. Its expense ratio is 1.29%, which is typical for single-stock ETFs. The fund is also relatively new, launching in October 2025, and has a modest asset base of about $32 million. That smaller size may pose liquidity concerns for very active traders. These leveraged inverse funds and ETNs can produce large gains in a short timeframe, but they are volatile and intended primarily for experienced, active traders using them as short-term hedges or tactical positions. Investors should read each product's prospectus, understand the daily-reset mechanics and risks (including volatility decay), and consider consulting a financial advisor before investing. |
