Take a look at our list of the financial terms associated with trading and the markets. From beginners starting their trading journey to experts with decades of experience, all traders need to clearly understand a huge number of terms.
SSO, also known as ProShares Ultra S&P500, is a leveraged product that looks to deliver twice the daily performance of the S&P500. This is a single-day product so the returns over periods of more than one day will differ.
S&P500, the index that it tracks, is considered a benchmark for large-cap US equities. It comprises 500 leading companies, many of which are household names, and a broad range of sectors – although tech firms feature heavily. Holdings include Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and Johnson & Johnson.
UPRO, ProShares Ultra Pro S&P500, provides 3x daily exposure to the S&P 500 Index. The ETF aims to deliver daily returns that are three times that of the S&P 500 Index, which comprises US large cap equities. The S&P 500 represents some of the largest and most liquid US stocks on the market.
This is a leveraged product and, as such, carries more risk. It is an aggressive instrument, design for intraday trading, and should not be used as part of a buy-and-hold strategy.
ProShares UltraShort S&P500 (SDS) looks to deliver daily investment results that are twice the inverse of the daily performance of the S&P500. This is a leveraged product and designed as a single-day bet. Returns for periods longer than one day could expose investors to performance drift.
S&P500, the index that it inversely tracks, is considered a benchmark for large-cap US equities. It comprises 500 leading companies, many of which are household names, and a broad range of sectors – although tech firms feature heavily. Holdings include Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and Johnson & Johnson.
ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 (SPXU) seeks daily investment results that are 300% the inverse of the daily performance of the S&P 500. This is a single day bet for traders looking to go short on S&P500 or hedge other trades. Like any leveraged product, there is more risk involved in this ETF than in unleveraged products.
