This year, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry has witnessed rapid growth, leading to a surge in related demands. As a result, the global semiconductor sector has demonstrated remarkable performance. Against this backdrop, semiconductor-focused leveraged ETFs, known for their high elasticity, have become highly sought after by funds. Several related products in overseas markets have seen significant expansion in their asset sizes. This surge in leveraged ETFs has been predominantly fueled by retail investors, with individual funds emerging as the primary force driving market entry. Industry insiders caution that while leveraged trading tools can amplify returns, they also introduce potential risks, including daily rebalancing requirements, heightened volatility, and liquidity mismatches. Short-term sharp corrections and abnormal market trends occur frequently, posing hidden risks to the retail-driven investment frenzy.
