Leveraged and Inverse funds reflect a multiple of the trend of the underlying FTSE Europe Index – over a very short period of time such as a single day

The funds listed on our index are not investment recommendations but fund performances observed by resetting time frames (on the top bar) provide valuable market signals

The Direxion and ProShares fund managers emphasize that the funds seek a leverage or inverse return of its benchmark index for a single day and should not be expected to provide the stated return for periods greater than a day

The charts for our index make this short term focus abundantly clear with heavy losses on funds back-tested over intermediate or long time periods, whatever the performance of the underlying index may have been over the same period

Sensitivity of the funds may be simulated by choosing the shortest time frames on the tool bar
