14 Leveraged ETFs for Tactical Trading in Volatile Markets
Leveraged Exchange-Traded Funds (LETFs) are precision instruments for traders seeking amplified exposure to short-term market movements. The 14 funds highlighted below—including ProShares' TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100) and UPRO (3x S&P 500)—are designed to capitalize on acute momentum, not long-term holdings.
These ETFs thrive in volatility. TQQQ, with $27.54B in assets, targets tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 swings, while UPRO's $4.79B+ AUM mirrors broader S&P 500 moves. Both carry expense ratios NEAR 0.82%, a modest toll for their triple-leverage mechanics.
Warning lights flash for the unwary: Daily resets compound tracking errors, and SEC regulations mandate explicit risk disclosures. These tools belong solely to traders who can stomach -80% drawdowns as readily as they chase +200% surges.
