Tradr Launches AXTQ ETF to Deliver -200% Daily Return on AXTI Stock
Tradr has launched the Tradr 2X Short AXTI Daily ETF (AXTQ), designed to deliver twice the inverse daily return of AXT, Inc. (NASDAQ:AXTI). The fund aims for a performance of -200% relative to AXTI each day using derivatives rather than shorting stock directly. However, due to its daily reset mechanism, long-term returns may deviate significantly from this target because of volatility decay in choppy markets. The ETF's expense ratio is not yet disclosed but is expected to be similar to other leveraged inverse ETFs, which typically charge between 1% and 1.5% annually. AXTI has surged by 344% year-to-date as of the article’s publication date in September 2026 but fell nearly 18% last month. Investors should be aware that a single-day rally above 50% for AXTI could wipe out an investor's entire position in AXTQ. The fund is intended to provide short-term exposure and may not perform as expected over extended periods.
