Tradr ETFs

What Tradr ETFs does

Tradr ETFs is a New York-based leveraged and inverse exchange-traded fund issuer, launched in May 2024 by AXS Investments. The firm designs and lists single-stock and single-ETF leveraged products offering 2X long or -2X short daily, monthly, or quarterly exposure to underlying securities, using total return swaps, options, and other derivative instruments to deliver the amplified return profile. Tradr pioneered two product categories in the U.S. market: single-stock leveraged ETFs (with early launches including TSLQ on Tesla and NVDS on NVIDIA) and non-daily reset leveraged ETFs (MQQQ monthly on QQQ, QQQP quarterly on QQQ, SPYQ quarterly on SPY), with the calendar reset architecture specifically engineered to reduce the volatility drag and compounding effects inherent in daily-reset structures.

The company manages 72 leveraged ETFs representing approximately $10 billion in assets under management as of July 2026, spanning themes such as AI infrastructure, quantum computing, semiconductors, space and defense, and clean energy. Revenue is generated through management fees embedded in expense ratios (typically 0.95% to 1.49% annually), deducted daily from fund assets. All products are listed on Cboe Global Markets and distributed through a comprehensive roster of U.S. online brokerages — Fidelity, Robinhood, Charles Schwab, Interactive Brokers, E*Trade, Vanguard, Webull, and SoFi — with ALPS Distributors serving as the registered distributor and Nasdaq licensing the QQQ trademark for the MQQQ and QQQP calendar reset products.

The go-to-market motion is product-led: Tradr pursues a first-to-market strategy, rapidly launching novel leveraged structures on newly public and high-conviction stocks (e.g., SpaceX/SPCM-SPCG at the SpaceX IPO, Cerebras/CBRX-CBRZ, Core Scientific/COZX, AST SpaceMobile/ASTX). The firm complements this with event-driven marketing (Cboe Opening Bell ceremonies, Stocktwits Cashtag Awards sponsorship) and brokerage-platform distribution. The target customer base is sophisticated retail traders, day traders, swing traders, financial advisors, and institutional traders seeking precision leveraged tools without using margin accounts or options strategies directly. The operating model is asset-light, with 1-10 employees executing at unusually high productivity per head.
