Financial services firm T-Rex Group has filed for a leveraged MicroStrategy (MSTR) exchange-traded fund in the United States. This ETF could potentially be the most volatile ETF ever seen in the country.
Read on to learn what experts think about this development and to do an in-depth comparative analysis!
What Experts Think About T-Rex Group’s MSTR?
Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, likened MSTR to the ‘ghost pepper’ of ETFs for its extreme volatility. He stated that this fund could expose investors to around 20 times the typical volatility of the S$) 500.
He compared it to a three-time-leveraged MicroStrategy ETF currently in the European market, which makes the QQQ index appear as stable as a money market fund.
