(Specific) Financial Products & Associated Risk Management

Fundamentals of Leveraged and Inverse Products

Overview

SFC published a Supplemental Circular on Leveraged and Inverse Products on 14 March 2019.

Leveraged & Inverse Products (L&I Products) have become increasingly popular in overseas markets, particularly in Asia, and demand for these products has increased in Hong Kong. Their shares / units are traded on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK). They are different from conventional exchange traded funds (ETF). Leveraged Products typically aim to deliver a daily return equivalent to a multiple of the underlying index return that they track. On the other hand, Inverse Products typically aim to deliver the opposite of the daily return of the underlying index that they track.

This course aims to provide learners an overview of L&R products.
