db x-trackers expands ETF range and launches seven daily leveraged ETFs
May 12, 2010--db x-trackers, Deutsche Bank’s Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) platform, has listed seven new daily two times leveraged ETFs on the London Stock Exchange; three tracking daily leveraged short indices and four tracking daily leveraged long indices from recognised index providers. The three daily leveraged short ETFs track indices that provide two times daily inverse exposure to the DAX®, Euro STOXX 50® and S&P 500. The four daily leveraged long ETFs track indices that provide two times daily long exposure to the DAX®, Euro STOXX 50®, FTSE 100 and S&P 500. The launch of the daily leveraged ETFs complements the range of 16 daily one times short equity ETFs from db x-trackers, the leading provider of such products in Europe.
The daily leveraged ETFs are suitable for financially sophisticated institutional investors who want to use them for short-term trading or hedging strategies to react in real time to intra-day market fluctuations and take advantage of rising or declining markets. As they are ETFs they are easy and convenient to use and can be traded and settled in the same way as any listed stock or security. For some investors they can be an effective substitute for other short term derivatives such as futures and CFDs/swaps without the need for opening or maintaining a margin account or entering into derivatives agreements.
Manooj Mistry, head of db x-trackers UK said: “Our experience of marketing the range of db x-trackers short ETFs has shown that there are many institutional investors who want to take tactical leveraged or short positions in their portfolios but do not necessarily have the infrastructure to use derivatives or to go short through borrowing ETF shares. When used correctly, the daily leveraged ETFs can provide sophisticated institutional investors with a liquid and efficient way to implement short term trading or hedging strategies within their portfolios.”
