Leverage Shares 2X Long World Stock Daily ETF is an ETF that seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of the Vanguard Total World Stock index through leveraged exposure to that broad global equity benchmark, with an expense ratio of 0.75%. The fund invests primarily in the underlying index fund along with financial derivatives to achieve its leveraged objective, making it a tool for traders seeking amplified short-term equity exposure rather than long-term buy-and-hold investors. This security appeals to active traders with high risk tolerance who want magnified daily returns on global equities, though leverage amplifies both gains and losses and is designed for daily rebalancing rather than extended holding periods.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (the posted rate) uses calculation basis unavailable. Issuer rates can use a different denominator and date, including ex-date NAV. Trailing-12-month yield is the sum of split-adjusted cash distributions with ex-dates in the last 12 months, divided by the published price. It lags a recent raise or cut. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss.
