How does the Bull 3X ETF operate?
3x ETFs follow a wide range of asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and commodities futures, just like other leveraged ETFs. 3x ETFs, on the other hand, use even more leverage to attempt to achieve three times the daily or monthly return of their respective underlying indexes. The aim behind 3x ETFs is to profit from short-term fluctuations in financial markets. In the long run, other dangers emerge.

How long can you keep leveraged ETFs in your portfolio?
We estimate holding period distributions for investors in leveraged and inverse ETFs in this article. We show that a significant fraction of investors can keep these short-term investments for longer than one or two days, even a quarter, using standard models.
Why is it risky to invest in leveraged ETFs?
- Leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are meant to provide higher returns than traditional exchange-traded funds.
- One downside of leveraged ETFs is that the portfolio must be rebalanced on a regular basis, which incurs additional fees.
- Instead of using leveraged ETFs, experienced investors who are comfortable managing their portfolios should handle their index exposure and leverage ratio manually.
Are leveraged ETFs a suitable long-term investment?
The response is a categorical NO. Leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are designed for short-term trading. Long-term holding of a leveraged ETF can be extremely risky due to a phenomena known as volatility decay.
Is it possible for leveraged ETFs to reach zero?
Even when the underlying index performs well, leveraged ETFs can perform poorly over longer time periods. The geometric nature of returns compounding and ill-timed rebalancing are to blame for the longer-term underperformance. The author shows that highly leveraged ETFs (3x and inverse ETFs) are likely to converge to zero over longer time horizons using the concept of a growth-optimized portfolio. 2x leveraged ETFs can similarly be predicted to decay to zero if they are based on high-volatility indexes; however, in moderate market conditions, these ETFs should avoid the fate of their more heavily leveraged counterparts. The author proposes that an adaptive leverage ETF might produce more appealing results over longer time horizons based on these concepts.
