- Tradr ETFs, a brand of AXS Investments LLC, provides leveraged and inverse exchange-traded funds (ETFs) designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders seeking short-term tactical exposure to single stocks, ETFs, and innovative sectors. The firm offers a suite of over 50 ETFs, including daily, monthly, and quarterly reset products that deliver 2X long, 1X short, or other targeted leveraged performance relative to underlying securities such as AppLovin Corp. (APP), NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), Tesla Inc. (TSLA), Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY); these funds primarily utilize total return swaps, FLEX options, and direct holdings with major global counterparties to achieve their objectives before fees and expenses. Core offerings encompass single-stock leveraged ETFs like Tradr 2X Long APP Daily ETF (APPX; launched April 24, 2025), which seeks 200% of the daily performance of AppLovin Corp. shares; technology and innovation-focused funds such as Tradr 2X Long Innovation ETF (TARK) and Tradr Short Innovation Daily ETF (SARK); and sector-specific products targeting AI infrastructure, quantum computing, space tech, and urban mobility. Products are listed on Nasdaq and Cboe, with many featuring options trading availability; the firm emphasizes daily reset mechanics, high volatility potential, and risks including compounding effects, leverage amplification, and derivatives exposure.
Launched in May 2024 through the rebranding of existing AXS funds including SARK, TARK, TSLQ, and NVDS, Tradr ETFs pioneered single-stock leveraged ETFs in the U.S. since 2022 and has since expanded aggressively with over 40 new fund launches in 2025 alone, including first-to-market products on stocks like CoreWeave, AST SpaceMobile, Bloom Energy (BEX; November 2025), Celestica (CSEX), Nano Nuclear Energy (NNEX), Synopsys (SNPX), and others. In October 2025, the firm surpassed $2 billion in assets under management across its portfolio, doubling AUM since August 2025 amid strong demand from active traders and institutions. Recent strategic developments include the introduction of calendar reset ETFs to align with varied investor horizons, a 1-for-5 reverse stock split on select funds effective June 2025, and ongoing portfolio growth to 53 ETFs by late 2025 without noted acquisitions, partnerships, or reorganizations.
Headquartered in Port Chester, New York, Tradr ETFs operates under AXS Investments LLC as investment adviser, with Investment Managers Series Trust II as the statutory trust issuer and administrators including UMB Fund Services and custodians like Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.; the firm targets U.S. markets with global derivative counterparties and serves self-directed retail, institutional, and professional trading clients focused on high-conviction, short-term views in equities and thematic sectors.
