Investing in Leveraged ETFs
-
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.
Investing in Thematic ETFs
-
Our ETFs can be bought and sold like any other stock through your online brokerage account or investment advisor. Please refer to our "How to Invest" section for more information.
-
Themes ETFs has foregone a traditional distribution model in favor of a direct-to-investor model. We have built a lean asset management organization that minimizes distributional expenses in order to maximize cost-efficiency so we can pass these savings directly on to investors in the form of lower fees.
-
Broadly defined, thematic investing targets specific investment ideas, which can range from cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence to traditional industries like airlines. Our ETFs seek to provide targeted exposure to these specific segments of the market or specialty industries.
-
Exposure to a specific investment theme may have the potential to offer both diversification and differentiated performance relative to broad market benchmarks, which can complement the composition of a traditional balanced portfolio.
