Leveraged Equities ETFs

Most of these ETFs seek to increase the exposure and impact from the underlying index or investments in the ETF. For example, the leveraged ETF may attempt to double, triple, or even quadruple the return of an index on a daily basis. Leveraged ETFs are typically used by investors who are using a short-term trading strategy. We view inverse or leveraged ETF categories as simply suited for aggressive investors only who are willing to accept the exaggerated returns offered by these particular ETFs and are prone to more active portfolio management. We see limited appeal for long-term investors.
