We have classified the following bullish emerging market ETFs from Direxion Investments and iPath separately from those on our bullish / bearish ETF list as these leveraged ETFs seek a return that is 300% of the return of an underlying benchmark index. However and as with any leveraged ETFs, investors need to carefully read all prospectuses and any other documentation to ensure a clear understanding of what each ETF manager means by terms such as “bull,” “bear,” “enhanced,” “inverse,” “leveraged,” “short” and “ultrashort.” In addition, investors need to keep in mind that all leveraged ETFs achieve their stated aim through the use of complex derivative instruments.
