Understanding the Risks of Leveraged ETFs: A Caution for Investors As market volatility continues to challenge us, it’s essential to approach leveraged ETFs with both understanding and caution. These products, designed to achieve 200% or 300%—or their inverse—of their benchmark's daily performance, are tempting tools for their potential high returns. However, it's crucial to remember they are structured to meet their leverage targets daily. Holding these instruments for longer than a day can result in performance that diverges significantly from 2x or 3x the benchmark's return due to compounding effects. Moreover, the liquidity and market conditions at the start and end of trading sessions can significantly impact these ETFs. Holding leveraged ETFs overnight introduces risks that might not align with every investor’s strategy. While they can be powerful tools for intraday trading, they require a careful strategy and a clear understanding of the risks involved. Consider your risk tolerance and consult with a financial advisor to ensure these investments fit your broader financial goals. #ETFs #LeveragedETFs #InvestmentRisks #FinancialLiteracy #ETFTrading #CapitalMarkets #ETFCapitalMarketAdvisorsLLC
