ETF Education Report: LEVERAGE SHARES 2X LONG FUTU DAILY ETF (FUTG)

What this ETF is trying to do

This ETF, known by its ticker symbol FUTG, is an exchange-traded fund listed on the NASDAQ. Based on its name, it is designed to provide leveraged exposure to a specific underlying asset. Leveraged ETFs are specialized tools that aim to multiply the daily movements of an index or stock.

What the numbers show

As of August 11, 2026, the current share price for FUTG is $3.84.

When looking at how the fund has performed this year, we look at two different types of returns:

• Year-to-Date (YTD) Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price. For FUTG, the YTD price return is approximately -73.17%.

• Year-to-Date (YTD) Total Return: This measure includes both price changes and any distributions (cash payments). The YTD total return for this ETF is also approximately -73.17%.

Because the price return and the total return are the same in this case, it shows that the decline in value came entirely from the falling share price.

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors look at ETFs to receive regular cash payments, known as distributions. For FUTG, the distribution yield is 0%. The data shows that no distributions were detected over the last 12 months. This means the fund has not been providing cash income to shareholders during this period.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV" stands for Net Asset Value, which is the actual value of the assets held by the fund. "NAV erosion" is a term used when the value of those underlying assets declines significantly over time.

While there is a severe erosion-risk flag present in some data, this specific report shows that the erosion score is withheld due to insufficient verified price history. Therefore, we cannot provide a specific measurement of the erosion risk for this fund at this time. However, it is important to note that when a share price drops significantly, as seen with the -73.17% YTD return, it represents a major share-price decline.

Pros

• The ETF provides specialized, leveraged exposure which may be used by traders looking for amplified daily movements.

Cons

• Significant Price Decline: The fund has experienced a very large year-to-date price return of approximately -73.17%.

• No Income: There have been no distributions or cash payments detected in the last 12 months.

Beginner takeaway

FUTG is showing a very large decline in its share price so far this year. For new investors, it is important to remember that leveraged ETFs can move much faster than regular stocks—both up and down. A large drop in price means the value of an investment in this ETF has decreased significantly. Always look at both the price return and the total return to understand how a fund is performing.
