What are leveraged and inverse ETFs?
Leveraged ETFs deliver a multiple of the returns to a particular index on a daily basis. For example, if an index increases by 2%, a 2x leveraged ETF will increase by 4%. In comparison, inverse ETFs, deliver the opposite returns of an index, whereby if an index increases by 2%, the inverse ETF will decrease by -2%.
Appropriate for active traders in the stock market, inverse ETFs are suitable for investors with a bearish view of the market, whereas leveraged ETFs are suitable for those with a bullish view of the market. Both ETFs are for short term (one-day) trading.
