Leveraged equity ETFs popular as investors bet on market recovery
(Reuters) -Leveraged equity exchange-traded funds have seen a surge in inflows this month as some investors seek to position for amplified gains when markets recover from a selloff induced by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade tariffs. According to LSEG Lipper data, leveraged equity funds have received inflows of $10.95 billion so far this month, already surpassing a 5-year high of $9.2 billion recorded last month. Leveraged equity funds are designed to deliver multiples of the daily returns of an underlying index such as S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100.
