Leveraged ETF

A fund engineered to deliver a multiple (2x, 3x) of its index's daily return. The daily reset means long-run returns diverge from the multiple — compounding helps in smooth trends and hurts in choppy markets (volatility drag). They are trading instruments, not holdings, and the favorite habitat of short-horizon systematic strategies.
