These 3 ETFs Are Suitable for Ultra-Bearish InvestorsWritten by Nathan Reiff. Originally 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 are plenty of reasons investors might be bearish in April 2026. From uncertainties tied to the Iran war and the energy market to questions about the future of artificial intelligence and its implications for the workforce, those unhappy with the market’s direction may want ways to profit if things worsen. Investors with strong conviction that a downturn is coming and an appetite for significant risk may consider exchange-traded products that amplify bearish moves: leveraged inverse funds. The three funds below offer different scopes — from broad industry exposure to a single-stock bet — so bearish investors can tailor exposure to match their market view. A Powerful Bet Against Leading Internet Companies
Most people overcomplicate trading, chasing ten indicators, 20-year-old gurus, and seventeen secret systems, and somehow end up more confused than when they started. I found one setup—just one—that kept showing up every morning at the same time, same pattern, same opportunity, and it worked often enough that I stopped trying to reinvent the wheel. By 10 AM, I'm usually done for the day, no drama, no 14-hour trading sessions, just one repeatable moment that anyone with a laptop can learn to spot.

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 includes companies that derive at least half of their sales from the internet and have a three‑month average market capitalization of at least $100 million. Although the index sounds narrow, it spans a wide range of tech and consumer firms — from retailers like Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) to networking and hardware names like Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) to streamers like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX). The index holds roughly 40 names in total. WEBS targets -3x daily performance. That means when the index falls on a trading day, WEBS aims to rise about three times that amount; conversely, it magnifies gains by the same factor when the index rises. Like most leveraged funds, WEBS is high-risk: its leverage resets daily, which can cause volatility decay and makes the fund better suited for short-term, actively managed positions. In exchange for that risk, the fund offers a dividend yield of 2.6% and the potential for large single-day returns. Its expense ratio is 1.07%, which is modest compared with some other highly leveraged products. A Narrower Focus for Inverse Leveraged Exposure to FANG+ StocksThe FANG+ companies still wield outsized influence on the market and the S&P 500 despite fading hype. For investors who expect a decline in this concentrated group, the MicroSectors FANG+ Index -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN (NYSEARCA: FNGD) provides -3x exposure to the NYSE FANG+ Index. The index focuses on 10 large tech names, including the traditional FANG stocks and other leaders such as NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA). Like WEBS, FNGD is highly risky and intended for very active traders betting on a decline in the FANG+ group over a single trading day. Its leverage resets daily, so it is generally inappropriate as a long-term holding. The product carries an expense ratio of 0.95%, slightly cheaper than the other leveraged offerings on this list. Ultra-Targeted Bearish Bets on Single NamesSingle-stock ETFs have proliferated recently, reflecting investor demand for more targeted bets for or against specific companies. These funds deliver amplified exposure to one stock at a time, making them the most focused — and also among the riskiest — options here. The Defiance Daily Target 2X Short RGTI ETF (NASDAQ: RGTZ) allows bears on quantum computing to take a targeted inverse position against Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI). Rigetti is a leading pure‑play quantum firm that has struggled recently, falling nearly 40% year-to-date as the industry grapples with slow adoption, a narrow customer base, and a lack of profitability. That narrow focus has trade-offs. RGTZ carries a 1.29% expense ratio, which is typical for single-stock leveraged ETFs. The fund launched in October 2025 and remains small, with about $32 million in assets, so liquidity can be a concern for very active traders. |
