About Leveraged ETFs. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are traded on a stock exchange. They allow individual investors to benefit from economies of scale by spreading administration and transaction costs over a large number of investors. Leveraged funds have been available since at least the early 1990s.
It was State Street Global Advisors that launched the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) in 1993 with the introduction of the SPDR. Since then, ETFs have continued to grow in popularity and gather assets at a rapid pace. The easiest way to understand ETFs is to think of them as mutual funds that trade like stocks. This trading characteristic is one of the many features that have made ETFs so attractive, particularly to professional investors and individual active traders. (For a background on what ETFs are and how they work, check out Introduction to Exchange-Traded Funds.) The Benefits of Trading Like a Stock.
