Through the WisdomTree Short & Leveraged ETP range, investors can take both short and leveraged positions across the US equity market. This allows investors to express high-conviction, directional views through tactical short-term positions using an easy to access and cost-efficient wrapper.

Why trade with Short & Leveraged ETPs?

Express high-conviction views across asset classes

Leverage our extensive range of short and leveraged ETPs to capitalise on short-term market movements across equities, commodities, currencies, and fixed income, whether you hold a bullish or bearish view.

Capital efficiency

Due to their built-in daily leverage, leveraged ETPs can be used to gain a desired level of market exposure or opportunistically overweight using less capital.

Accessible and robust structure

WisdomTree S&L ETPs are easily accessible via regulated markets and are transparent, cost-efficient, and collateralised financial products that do not require direct borrowing or the maintenance of margin accounts. Furthermore, investors cannot lose more than the amount invested.

What drives US equity markets?

  • Economic indicators

    Key economic data such as GDP growth, unemployment rates, inflation, and consumer spending often influence market sentiment. Positive reports can boost investor confidence, driving equities higher, while negative data can lead to selloffs as investors anticipate slower growth.

  • Corporate earnings

    Quarterly earnings reports offer crucial insights into a company's financial performance and future prospects. The tech sector plays a pivotal role in driving US equity markets, given its significant market capitalisation. Strong earnings and positive future guidance from companies often lead to broader market gains, while disappointing results can trigger widespread declines.

  • The Fed and economic growth

    The Federal Reserve's (Fed) actions, such as setting interest rates and conducting open market operations, have a significant impact on equity markets. Lower interest rates generally support higher stock prices by making borrowing cheaper and encouraging investment, while rate hikes can lead to market declines as they increase the cost of capital.
