New Leveraged Equity ETFs
Friday July 3, 2009
ETF Securities is an ETF provider in the United Kingdom known for its popular commodity ETFs. However, they have now decided to grow in the equity sector with new leveraged ETFs.
The new ETFs will trade on the London Exchange and give investors twice the leveraged exposure to indexes like the DAX, the Euro STOXX 50, and the FTSE 100.
ETF Securities doesn't plan on stopping there, either. They want to expand their market share to the U.S. and Canada as well as increase the ETFs in their product line. Since leveraged equity ETFs are new to Britain, but not the United States or Canada, this is a good step towards accomplishing their expansion goals.
Here are the 2x leveraged equity ETFs that ETF Securities offers
ETFS CAC 40 2x Short Fund
ETFS FTSE 100 Super Short Strategy (2x) Fund
ETFS Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Double Short (2x) Fund
ETFS Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Double Short (2x) Fund
ETFS DAX 2x Short Fund
ETFS DAX 2x Short Fund
ETFS CAC 40 2x Long Fund
ETFS FTSE 100 Leveraged (2x) Fund

New from the makers of USO and USL...the US Short Oil ETF! Fun for all ages!
Kidding aside, there's another new oil ETF for our ever-growing list of oil ETFs and ETNs. This time US Commodity Funds will be launching a single leveraged short ETF to add to their oil ETF product line. The new inverse ETF, United States Short Oil ETF (DNO), is set to trade this month.
Just in time for the big Fourth of July weekend, another way to invest in oil without drilling a hole in your backyard. Instead, you can enjoy the fireworks.
