As an investor these products allow us to hedge our portfolios during market downtrends, which can be an easier and far more cost effective method to shorting stock, while also being less complicated then having to buy puts on an underlying index or security. The leveraged funds allow investors to profit off of bull runs in the market, especially in a time where a standard 10% return on the S&P 500 index is does not generate high enough returns to retire off of.

These funds while volatile can help people put money away to afford a home in this unprecedent time. Along with how high inflation has become which eats into the average Americans real returns over time
