What are the investment objectives of leveraged and inverse funds?
A leveraged ETF is designed to provide a multiple (e.g., 2x or 3x) of the return of an index or other benchmark, usually for a single day, before fees and expenses. An inverse fund is designed to provide a multiple of the opposite (e.g., -1x, -2x, -3x) of the return of an index or other benchmark, usually for a single day, before fees and expenses.
