Leverage Shares Expands Leveraged ETF Portfolio with GEMG – Marking a New Milestone in Thematic Investing
Leverage Shares by Themes has officially launched GEMG, the first leveraged ETF in the market to offer double (2X) exposure to GEMI – Gemini Space Station, opening a new chapter for single-asset leveraged ETFs in the space technology sector.
The launch of GEMG comes just days after two other funds – Leverage Shares 2X Long BMNR Daily ETF (BMNG) and Leverage Shares 2X Long BLSH Daily ETF (BLSG) – began trading, confirming the firm’s strong expansion in thematic investing space.
Thematic Leveraged ETFs – A New Trend for Active Investors
The Leverage Shares by Themes product line is designed to amplify the daily returns (both upside and downside) of single stocks.
The new funds are targeted to provide 200% exposure to the daily performance of three leading stocks in the technology innovation sector:
GEMG – Tracks Gemini Space Station (GEMI)
BLSG – Tracks Bullish Stock (BLSH)
BMNG – Tracks Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR)
With a management fee of just 0.75%, this is one of the lowest in the single-stock leveraged ETF segment, making it easy for professional investors to access short-term profit amplification strategies without using personal leverage.
GEMG – Highlights in the “Space Leverage” Game
According to data from ETF.com, GEMG is considered the first ETF in the United States to provide 2X leverage exposure to GEMI stock – an aerospace technology company that is attracting investors' attention.
GEMG allows investors to “catch the pulse” of the commercial space development trend while leveraging to maximize short-term returns.
Paul Marino, Chief Revenue Officer of Leverage Shares, said:
“The Leverage Shares by Themes program was created to help investors access high-growth, innovative businesses.
With GEMG, we are not only expanding our product portfolio but also providing a flexible investment tool for those looking to capture opportunities in cutting-edge sectors.”
Accelerating Expansion – Leverage Shares Deepens Its Reach into the US
With the launch of GEMG, Leverage Shares by Themes’ single-fund leveraged ETF portfolio has grown to 34 funds, covering key sectors such as technology, energy, consumer and financials.
The expansion comes as Leverage Shares – Europe’s largest single-equity ETP issuer – ramps up its presence in the US, following the launch of its first products in late 2023.
The company, founded in 2017 by Jose Gonzalez-Navarro, Dobromir Kamburov and Tracy Grant, now owns more than 160 ETP products with the leading total assets under management (AUM) in Europe.
Opportunities and risks: Leverage – a double-edged sword for professional investors
Funds such as GEMG, BMNG and BLSG are designed for experienced investors who understand how leveraged products work.
They are not suitable for long-term investors or those who do not follow the market closely, as cumulative performance can be affected when the underlying stock moves sideways or fluctuates strongly.
According to the announcement, the fund may lose value even if the underlying stock increases for many days, if short-term volatility creates an adverse rebalancing effect.
Investors need to regularly monitor their portfolios and only use risk capital that they can afford to lose.
Thematic leverage – an inevitable step forward in the era of smart investing
The birth of GEMG and new funds confirms the trend of combining investment themes and leverage tools that is becoming the next innovative financial product line.
Instead of investing in the entire market, investors can now select high-growth sectors, such as blockchain, space, AI or clean energy, and optimize profits through leveraged ETFs.
With GEMG – the “first-to-market” fund to bring 2X leverage to GEMI – Leverage Shares by Themes is cementing its position as a pioneer in the global ETF innovation race, where the power of themes and leverage meet in the same flexible financial product.
