Goal
To seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex.

Competitors
Key Competitors
- United States Natural Gas Fund LP (UNG)
- ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas (KOLD)
- MicroSectors U.S. Big Oil Index 3X Leveraged ETN (NRGU)
Competitive Landscape
The competitive landscape is dominated by unleveraged funds like UNG. BOIL offers leveraged exposure, attracting traders seeking amplified returns but carrying increased risk. KOLD provides inverse exposure, and NRGU indirectly competes through natural gas producers and big oil companies, making BOIL highly volatile due to its leverage.
Financial Performance
Historical Performance: Due to its leveraged nature and the volatility of natural gas, historical performance can be highly variable and not indicative of future results.
Benchmark Comparison: The ETF aims to achieve 2x the *daily* performance of its benchmark, but compounding effects mean long-term performance will likely deviate significantly.
Expense Ratio: 0.95
Liquidity
Average Trading Volume
The average trading volume for BOIL is relatively high, indicating good liquidity for traders.
Bid-Ask Spread
The bid-ask spread can fluctuate depending on market volatility but is generally tight enough to enable easy trading during normal market conditions.
Market Dynamics
Market Environment Factors
Natural gas prices are heavily influenced by weather patterns, supply and demand dynamics, storage levels, and geopolitical events.
Growth Trajectory
BOIL's growth trajectory is tied to interest in short-term natural gas price movements. Strategy changes are unlikely given its defined objective.
Moat and Competitive Advantages
Competitive Edge
BOIL's primary advantage lies in providing a readily accessible and leveraged exposure to natural gas futures. Its easily tradable nature attracts short-term traders and speculators. However, its leveraged structure poses a significant risk to long-term investors due to the effects of compounding and the volatile nature of natural gas. Its focus on a specific market segment also limits its diversification benefits. The ETF's advantage is therefore primarily for sophisticated investors with a high-risk tolerance.
Risk Analysis
Volatility
BOIL exhibits very high volatility due to its leveraged structure and the inherent volatility of natural gas prices.
Market Risk
Specific risks include fluctuations in natural gas prices, contango and backwardation in the futures market, and the effects of daily compounding, which can erode returns over time.
Investor Profile
Ideal Investor Profile
BOIL is suitable for sophisticated traders seeking short-term, leveraged exposure to natural gas prices. It is not appropriate for buy-and-hold investors.
Market Risk
Best suited for active traders with a high-risk tolerance and a short-term investment horizon.
Summary
ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas (BOIL) is a leveraged ETF designed for short-term trading of natural gas futures. It aims to provide twice the daily performance of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex. Due to its leveraged nature and the volatility of natural gas, it carries significant risk and is not suitable for long-term investors. BOIL is most appropriate for sophisticated traders who understand the risks of leveraged ETFs and the natural gas market, who can monitor their investments actively, and have a short time horizon.

The fund seeks to meet its investment objective by investing normally in Natural Gas futures contracts. It may also invest in swaps if the market for a specific futures contract experiences emergencies (e.g., natural disaster, terrorist attack, or an act of God) or disruptions (e.g., a trading halt or a flash crash) or in situations where the Sponsor deems it impractical or inadvisable to buy or sell futures contracts (such as during periods of market volatility or illiquidity).
