What are leveraged ETFs?

Leveraged ETFs are investment funds that provide traders with an investment vehicle to ride the big volatile moves in the market. For example, when the S&P 500 index moves up 1%, SPXU would provide you with 2% growth on the day.

These ETFs allow day traders to take advantage of big volatile moves in the market or hedge their existing portfolios without the risk of using margin. These are short-term instruments meant for daily use.

Meet BetaPro ETFs:

The BetaPro by Global X is Canada’s largest and longest-running suite of leveraged, inverse, and inverse-leveraged ETFs. They cover a variety of leveraged ETFs with daily exposure to popular indices such as the S&P500, and the Nasdaq-100, and commodities such as gold and natural gas.

Note of caution, leveraged ETFs can amplify index returns, enhancing daily gains but also magnifying daily losses in downturns. Inverse ETFs profit from market declines but can incur rapid daily losses if trends reverse. Investors should assess their risk capacity and conduct thorough research before investing.

For more information, visit BetaPro.ca. 

_{As of January 20, 2025, BetaPro ETFs updated several of their tickers to better reflect their respective exposures. Check out the full press release here.}

Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with an investment in products (the “Global X Funds”) managed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. The Global X Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.  Certain Global X Funds may have exposure to leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses which may result in greater volatility in value and could be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk. Such risks are described in the prospectus. The Global X Money Market Funds are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Funds will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the Global X Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing.

Certain statements may constitute a forward-looking statement, including those identified by the expression “expect” and similar expressions (including grammatical variations thereof). The forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the author’s current expectations regarding future results or events. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and the authors do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that is contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable law.

The Global X Funds include our BetaPro products (the “BetaPro Products”). The BetaPro Products are alternative mutual funds within the meaning of National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds and are permitted to use strategies generally prohibited by conventional mutual funds: the ability to invest more than 10% of their net asset value in securities of a single issuer, to employ leverage, and engage in short selling to a greater extent than is permitted in conventional mutual funds. While these strategies will only be used in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies of the BetaPro Products, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the risk that an investment in shares of a BetaPro Product decreases in value. 

The BetaPro Products consist of our Daily Bull and Daily Bear ETFs (the “Leveraged and Inverse Leveraged ETFs”), Inverse ETFs (the “Inverse ETFs”), and our BetaPro S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ ETF (the “VIX ETF”) and can offer opportunities for enhanced returns or hedging strategies, but it’s essential to understand and accept the associated risks. Leveraged ETFs aim to amplify the returns of an underlying index, which can lead to higher gains, but they also magnify losses in downturns. Similarly, inverse ETFs seek to profit from declines in the underlying index, meaning they can perform inversely to the market, but losses can accumulate quickly if the market moves against expectations. While these strategies will only be used in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies of the BetaPro Products, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the risk that an investment in shares of a BetaPro Product decreases in value. Investors should be aware of and understand their risk tolerance and capacity and conduct their research before investing. An investment in any of the BetaPro Products is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

Please read the full risk disclosure in the prospectus before investing. Investors should monitor their holdings in BetaPro Products and their performance at least as frequently as daily to ensure such investment(s) remain consistent with their investment strategies.
