Frequently Asked Questions

How do Leverage Shares’ leveraged ETFs work?

About Us

Leveraged 2x Single Stock ETFs provide two times (2x) the daily performance of a specific stock. For instance, if the underlying stock rises by 1% in a day, the ETF is designed to rise by 2%; similarly, if the stock falls by 1%, the ETF will fall by 2%, before fees and expenses.

Each ETF gains leveraged exposure through swap agreements with major financial institutions, which allow the ETF to achieve its targeted daily exposure. By leveraging access to institutional pricing for swaps and trading, these ETFs are designed to be cost-efficient for investors.

Some of the most popular single stocks: TSLA & NVDA.

Experienced investors and market participants may use leveraged ETFs for a variety of strategies, including:

  • Responding to technical indicators on individual stocks
  • Amplifying returns when stocks are driven by momentum
  • Trading the volatility and the directionality of individual stocks
  • Positioning or responding to earnings and news announcements

Trading Leverage Shares ETPs

The ETFs will be listed on NASDAQ, making them available for trading through most major brokers.

There is no minimum holding period, but the ETFs are intended for daily trading or very short-term positions due to the compounding effects of leverage over time.

The 2x exposure resets daily. This means the performance of the ETF is tied to the daily percentage change of the underlying stock. Holding the ETF for longer than a day can lead to returns that differ significantly from 2x the cumulative return of the stock due to compounding.

These ETFs carry significant risks, including:

  • Amplified losses: Losses are magnified in line with the leverage.
  • Compounding effects: Over time, returns may diverge from the expected 2x performance due to market volatility.
  • Market volatility: Higher sensitivity to price swings of the underlying stock. Investors should consult the prospectus and understand the risks fully before investing.

The management fee for the ETFs is 0.75% annually. Additional costs, such as swap financing and transaction fees, are detailed in the prospectus.

No. Losses are limited to the initial investment.

Scenarios

A stock split or reverse stock split on the underlying stock will not affect the total value of your investment in the leveraged ETF. The ETF’s holdings and swap exposure will be recalibrated to maintain the target leverage ratio.
