AXS listed the first single stock leverage and inverse ETNs in the US last week.    Single stock leverage and inverse ETNs have been in Europe since December 2017.  There are two issuers, Leverage Shares and Graniteshares ETFs issuing ETPs on single securities.   ETFGI data below as of the end of June.

A number of people were surprised that the new products have come to market as FINRA and the SEC have been looking into the sales practices of “Complex Products”.   Lori Schock, director of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s office of investor education and advocacy, said the new products were even riskier than existing leveraged and inverse ETFs, which provide daily amplified losses and gains on the securities they track and which the SEC has already warned against.

SEC commissioner Caroline Crenshaw said regulatory changes adopted in 2019 had relaxed the approval process for new ETFs but policymakers had not anticipated the updated rules would pave the way for leveraged single-stock ETFs.
