Leveraged single-stock ETF — documented structural drag
Single-stock leveraged ETFs magnify one stock's daily move. Research on these products (Bessembinder et al., 2024) finds 56% posted negative absolute returns over one year, with ~9.5% annual drag versus the underlying stock. Daily rebalancing plus financing costs work against the investor on any holding period longer than a few days.
