Our take
Structural notes on how this fund behaves. Read our guide on the 6 warning signs.
Leveraged ETF — not a long-term hold
This fund uses leverage to amplify daily returns (e.g. 2x or 3x of an index). Daily rebalancing creates volatility decay — over weeks and months, the fund's return drifts from the stated multiple. In trending markets with low realised volatility, leveraged index ETFs can outperform their nominal multiple; in sideways or volatile markets they bleed. Designed for short-term tactical use, not buy-and-hold.
