Could you please elaborate on what a
Leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) is? I'm particularly interested in understanding its mechanics and how it differs from traditional ETFs. Specifically, I'd like to know how leverage is incorporated into the investment strategy and the potential risks and rewards associated with this type of fund. Additionally, I'm curious about the regulatory framework governing leveraged ETFs and the types of investors that typically invest in these funds. Could you provide some clarity on these points?

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are financial instruments designed to replicate the performance of an index or benchmark.

The investor has the flexibility to choose an ETF based on their investment goals and risk tolerance. ETFs that track major indices like the S&P 500 offer broad market exposure.

Standard ETFs aim to mirror the returns of a given index, such as the S&P 500 Index or the Nasdaq 100, providing investors with a diversified portfolio in a single instrument.

However, leveraged ETFs pursue a different strategy. These funds utilize leverage to attempt to deliver a higher return than the underlying index.
