The Best Leveraged Bonds ETFs
The table below compares the performance and other essential indicators like dividend yield and expense ratio of 10 Leveraged Bonds ETFs.
Leveraged bond ETFs are exchange-traded funds that use financial derivatives, such as options and futures, to gain exposure to a leveraged or multiplied return on a bond index or bond sector. This means that the ETF aims to achieve a multiple of the return of a bond index or sector, typically 2x or 3x. For example, if the bond index or sector returns 2%, a 2x leveraged bond ETF would aim to return 4%. These types of ETFs can be helpful for investors looking for ways to magnify their returns on their bond investments, but they also carry a higher level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
It's important to note that leveraged ETFs are designed to achieve their stated leverage daily, not over a longer period. This means that the ETFs may not be suitable for long-term investment strategies, as the compounding effect of the daily leverage can cause the ETF to deviate significantly from its stated leverage over time.
