GraniteShares, the U.S. ETF issuer, has listed a suite of short and leveraged single stock Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. This new category reflects the evolution of the ETF market from broad index solutions to the ability today to take targeted positions on individual stocks.
Globally, the broad short and leveraged ETP segment has attracted significant investor inflows, growing from $2.4bn in assets under management in 2006 to US$111.9bn at the end of May 2022 (Source, EFTGI).
GraniteShares’ new suite of short and leveraged single stock ETFs, enables sophisticated investors to take high conviction positions on some of the most popular U.S stocks: Tesla, Coinbase & Apple.
Historically, access to leverage on single companies has been the domain of specialists such as Hedge Funds. GraniteShares has removed a key access barrier by making such exposures available on exchanges as ETFs, giving sophisticated investors the opportunity to express high conviction views in a transparent, accessible way.
