These are based on the same underlying asset but carry a completely different risk and return profile. Please review the warning below first.
ℹ️ What is a Derivative ETF?
These are special ETFs that amplify, reverse, or monetize the price movement of an underlying ETF or security. Leveraged ETFs aim for 2–3× the daily move, Inverse ETFs target opposite-direction returns, and Covered Call ETFs generate monthly income from option premiums.
⚠️ Caution: Long-Term Holding
Leveraged and inverse ETFs track only the daily return. With high volatility, holding them for longer periods causes cumulative volatility decay—returns diverge further from the underlying index. They are meant for short-term trading.
