Remember that funds with leverage behave differently compared to funds without leverage. It is therefore important that you understand how the funds work prior to investing.
Leveraged funds are only suitable as an investment if you:
- Understand special characteristics of these leverage investment products
- Understand the effect of daily rebalancing
- Actively and continuously monitor your portfolio since funds with leverage will go up or down more quickly in value than corresponding investments without leverage
