Leveraged Funds and The Active Trading Boom-Inside the Mind of the Active Trader
February 24, 2026-Executive Summary
For decades, investors have been searching for an edge. A way to double down or amplify their beliefs about certain stocks or sectors without using complex instruments or signing lengthy margin agreements.
Lately, they've found a home in leveraged exchange-traded funds and notes (ETFs and ETNs), which have caught fire since the beginning of COVID and the latest active trading renaissance.
Volume in these funds-which allow traders to speculate in a wide range of assets - has grown faster than options
or stock volumes between 2020 and 2025.
Since then, every market selloff has felt like a defining moment for leveraged funds. April 2025 - when the White House shocked the world with extreme tariff policy - set a trading record for leveraged funds in both volume and turnover.

US retail investors fuel surge in leveraged ETF trading, study shows
February 24, 2026-Retail investors drive 90% of leveraged single-stock ETF trading
SEC resists asset managers' push for more leveraged products
Number of leveraged single stock ETFs has soared 318% since January 2025
Nearly 90% of all the trading in leveraged single-stock ETFs in the U.S. market can be traced to transactions by individual investors, according to a new study co-authored by Direxion, a provider of those ETFs, together with two analytical firms, Vanda Research and The Compound Insights.
The data shows that the proliferation of these exchange-traded vehicles, which allow investors to speculate on short-term moves in an underlying stock, has been almost entirely driven by their allure for these retail investors. The study also found that last year trading in the leveraged single-stock ETFs accounted for 8% of total trading on all U.S. exchanges.

Fourth-quarter U.S. GDP up just 1.4%, badly missing estimate; inflation firms at 3%
February 20, 2026--Gross domestic produce rose at an annualized rate of just 1.4%, according to the Commerce Department, well below the Dow Jones estimate for a 2.5% gain.
The department estimated that the government shutdown, which ran through the first half of the quarter, probably took about 1 percentage point off economic growth.
At the same time, inflation held firm in December, according to a gauge most closely watched by Fed officials that increased 3% from a year ago.
U.S. growth slowed more than expected near the end of 2025 as the government shutdown impacted spending and investment, while a key inflation metric showed high prices are still a factor for the economy, according to data released Friday.
Gross domestic product rose at an annualized rate of just 1.4%, according to the Commerce Department, well below the Dow Jones estimate for a 2.5% gain.
