FactorETF Trust, a newcomer to the etf market, plans to launch 23 2X leveraged ETFs. The proposed ETFs would be based on underlying indexes that measure their respective sector and, or asset class against broader markets. Included in the application, FactorETF is also asking regulators for approval to offer other ETFs that provide 100%, 200% and 300% exposure to various underlying indexes.

We have included some pieces of the SEC filing below, for the full filing click: HERE

“Applicant intends  to establish certain index-based market-basket investment products intended to be made available to both institutional and retail investors. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company that is authorized to offer an unlimited number of series (each, a “Fund”). Each Fund will have a distinct investment objective. Each Fund, on a daily basis, will seek to achieve, before fees, expenses and transaction costs, the daily performance of a particular index. These indexes include: (i) domestic equity, foreign equity or fixed income securities indexes (respectively, an “Underlying Long-Only Domestic Index,” “Underlying Long-Only Foreign Index,” or “Underlying Long-Only Fixed Income Index,” and together, the “Underlying Long-Only Indexes”); and (ii) long/short domestic equity, long/short foreign equity, long/short fixed income and long/short hybrid indexes (respectively, an “Underlying Long/Short Domestic Index,” “Underlying Long/Short Foreign Index,” “Underlying Long/Short Fixed Income Index,” or “Underlying Long/Short Hybrid Index,” and together, the “Underlying Long/Short Indexes”). Funds based on Underlying Long-Only Domestic Indexes are “Long-Only Domestic Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long-Only Foreign Indexes are “Long-Only Foreign Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long-Only Fixed Income Indexes are “Long-Only Fixed Income Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long-Only Indexes are “Long-Only Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long/Short Domestic Indexes are “Long/Short Domestic Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long/Short Foreign Indexes are “Long/Short Foreign Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long/Short Fixed Income Indexes are “Long/Short Fixed Income Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long/Short Hybrid Indexes are “Long/Short Hybrid Funds.” Funds based on Underlying Long/Short Indexes are “Long/Short Funds.” Long-Only Foreign Funds and Long/Short Funds, collectively, are “Foreign Funds.” Exhibit A identifies the Underlying Indexes of the Initial Funds (as defined below).
