Description: YCS ProShares UltraShort Yen October 19, 2025
The ProShares UltraShort Yen (NYSE ARCA:YCS) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that aims to deliver twice the inverse daily performance of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. It does so by entering short positions in yen-denominated financial instruments and holding high-quality cash equivalents (e.g., short-term U.S. Treasuries) as collateral, thereby seeking to profit from yen depreciation under normal market conditions.
Key metrics and drivers to watch: (1) **Leverage factor** – YCS targets –2× exposure, meaning a 1 % rise in the USD/JPY rate should generate roughly a 2 % gain, but losses are similarly magnified. (2) **Expense ratio** – currently about 0.95 %, which is higher than non-leveraged ETFs but typical for leveraged products. (3) **Liquidity** – average daily volume exceeds 200,000 shares, supporting tight bid-ask spreads. The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to (a) the Bank of Japan’s monetary stance (e.g., yield-curve control or policy rate changes), (b) U.S. Federal Reserve rate moves that affect the USD-JPY carry trade, and (c) macro-risk events that trigger rapid yen appreciation, such as geopolitical shocks.
