2 new strategies will soon be introduced on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia; leveraged, and inverse strategies. The strategies will provide an avenue to investors to either double the investment exposure into an index through a 2x Leveraged ETF, or gain the reverse (inverse) performance of the index through an Inverse ETF.

Double your investment exposure with Leveraged ETF

Gain the reverse performance with Inverse ETF

Leveraged ETFs amplify your investment results, meaning returns on your investment would be multiplied, both on the upside and on the downside. For example, whilst your investment returns could be doubled to provide you a 4% gain when the underlying index is up by 2%, the results are the same in the reverse. I.e. if the underlying index records a loss of 2%, your investment return would be a loss of 4%.

Conversely, as the Inverse ETF provides the reverse results of the index, your investment returns would be positive if the underlying index performs negatively. Do note that in a reversed scenario where the underlying index performs positively, your investment returns would then be negative.
