Short & leveraged simulator
Short and leveraged Exchange Traded Products (S&L ETPs) are designed to track the percentage change in an index over a specific period of time (usually daily) multiplied by a leverage factor (e.g. -1x, 2x, 3x).
If we examine an S&L ETP built to provide daily returns, then at the end of each day the base value is "reset" and used as the starting point for the next day's returns. These daily resets cause a compounding effect upon returns if the ETP is held for longer than one day.
WisdomTree’s S&L simulator was created to help investors understand the daily returns provided by S&L ETPs as well as the compounding effect of the daily reset over time.
With a few basic inputs into the simulator below, investors can quickly see the theoretical return (excluding fees) of an S&L ETP in different market scenarios.
