Leverage Shares by Themes (distributed through ALPS Distributors, Inc.) has introduced a new series of exchange-traded funds—the Capped Accelerated Monthly ETFs—designed to deliver approximately twice the positive monthly return of select underlying stocks up to a cap, while aiming to track negative returns during the same period. These ETFs reset each calendar month and utilize options-based strategies to structure exposure.
Coinbase is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, serving millions of users globally and acting as a major entry point into digital asset markets. Its business is closely tied to trading volumes and interest in crypto as a sector, making its stock highly sensitive to market trends.
The 2× Capped Accelerated Coinbase Monthly ETF provides exposure to that stock by seeking roughly double its positive monthly performance, though gains are capped at a set level. On the downside, if Coinbase’s stock declines, the ETF mirrors those losses directly rather than leveraging them further.
This design allows the fund to capture a stronger version of Coinbase’s monthly upswings, while keeping declines aligned with the actual stock. The outcome applies to investors who hold through the full calendar month, as the structure resets at the end of each period.
Each reset recalculates the cap and restarts the options-based strategy behind the fund. That structure is built on FLEX options, which are used to engineer both the amplified upside and capped limits, giving the product a defined framework for each new month.
MicroStrategy is a business intelligence company that has gained widespread attention for its large Bitcoin holdings, which often overshadow its software business in driving stock performance. As a result, the company’s share price has become a proxy for crypto sentiment as well as technology adoption.
The 2× Capped Accelerated MicroStrategy Monthly ETF is tied to that stock, offering double its positive monthly performance up to a cap. Unlike traditional leveraged products, the fund does not magnify downside losses. Instead, when MicroStrategy stock declines, the ETF reflects that same percentage move.
This design creates a clear monthly outcome window. The amplified upside is reset at the start of each calendar month, while the cap defines the maximum potential gain in that same period. By focusing on single-month cycles, the ETF avoids compounding effects that longer-term leveraged products can carry.
Options contracts are the backbone of this structure. They are arranged at the beginning of each month to set the upside potential and cap, providing a transparent mechanism for how results are achieved. The fee structure is uniform across the series at 0.75%.
NVIDIA has emerged as a leader in artificial intelligence hardware, GPUs, gaming, and data centers. Its rapid growth and strong position in AI make it one of the most closely watched stocks in global markets. This volatility and growth potential make it a strong candidate for targeted investment vehicles.
The 2× Capped Accelerated NVIDIA Monthly ETF seeks to deliver double the positive monthly performance of NVIDIA stock, but only up to a capped level of gains. In periods when NVIDIA’s stock declines, the ETF reflects those losses without adding leverage on the downside.
This makes the fund structured for shorter monthly cycles, giving clear visibility into potential returns within each calendar month. Because it resets at the end of the period, the performance outcome is not carried forward or compounded beyond that single window.
Every month, FLEX options are reset to establish the new upside and downside parameters. The ETF’s mechanics allow exposure to NVIDIA’s stock with enhanced upside potential, yet the cap ensures there’s always a maximum limit, which is clearly disclosed at the start of the period.
Palantir Technologies is best known for its big data and analytics platforms used by both government and commercial clients. Its focus on defense and intelligence contracts, as well as expansion into enterprise software, has made it a high-profile stock with a unique market position.
The 2× Capped Accelerated Palantir Monthly ETF is designed to capture about twice Palantir’s positive stock performance over a single calendar month, up to a defined cap. When Palantir’s share price falls, the ETF reflects those losses at the same pace without applying additional leverage.
This monthly approach creates a predictable cycle. Each month starts fresh with new outcome parameters, allowing caps and exposures to be reset in alignment with Palantir’s current market environment. Holding for the entire month is required to fully align with the outcomes.
The underlying structure is built on options, recalculated each month to define how the ETF behaves. Combined with its capped upside and aligned downside, this structure gives the fund a consistent and transparent framework for tracking Palantir’s stock performance month by month.
Tesla is one of the most recognizable companies in the world, pioneering electric vehicles and energy solutions. Its stock is also known for high volatility, often driven by product announcements, deliveries, or broader EV market sentiment.
The 2× Capped Accelerated Tesla Monthly ETF provides exposure to that stock with roughly double the upside in a given month, up to a capped return. On the downside, the ETF reflects Tesla’s monthly losses without additional leverage.
This creates a monthly structure where potential gains are enhanced but defined, and losses remain in line with the stock itself. Each calendar month is a reset point, ensuring that outcomes are based on clearly measured timeframes instead of ongoing compounding.
Options contracts are used to implement the strategy. By recalculating caps and exposure at the start of every new month, the fund maintains consistency and clarity in how it delivers results tied to Tesla’s performance.
