How Leveraged Currency ETFs Work?
Leveraged Currency ETFs are designed to provide amplified exposure to popular currency foreign exchange rates. Using a combination of derivative instruments like swaps, futures, and other derivatives, such ETFs are generate magnified returns, as compared to their non-leveraged currency index counterparts. A currency ETF, like Market Vectors Double Short Euro ETN (DRR), not only provides double the returns (2x), but also provides an inverse of it (short: -2x). Inverse currency ETFs are also classified as leveraged currency ETFs, as their leverage factor is negative, like -1x and -2x.
Where do Leveraged Currency ETFs Invest?
The leveraged currecy ETFs are focused on single currency pair, like the USDEUR. Hence, most of these ETFs simply hold and take positions in the derivative instruments like futures which are tied to the performance of the currency rates. The currency market is open and unregulated, and the currency forwards and futures instruments trade on regulated exchanges.
