On 16 June, London, Leverage Shares, the pioneer of physically-backed single stock ETPs, is expanding its range of Stock Tracker ETPs. The innovative products allow UK investors to gain 1:1 exposure to in-demand Asian stocks for the first time in an Individual Savings Account (ISA), in GBP and with no FX charges.
Following the introduction of the first ever Stock Tracker ETPs on single stocks in May 2021, Leverage Shares is expanding its suite to include Chinese tech disruptors and more US market darlings.
The COVID-induced pandemic has introduced more market participants than ever before, with the majority being millennials or part of Gen Z. Retail investors can no longer be overlooked, as they now make up over 20% of overall stock trading volume – having doubled from levels prior to the pandemic.
The Stock Tracker ETPs address the added demand for access to individual stocks, as UK and European investors have shown more interest in constructing their own portfolio of equities. These unique products offer non-leveraged access to globally recognised stocks and trade in multiple currencies.
The Stock Trackers are advantageous for institutional and retail investors alike, as well as legacy brokers, who until now have not been able to offer fractional trading to their clients.
“Today marks another milestone as we continue to bring cohesion to the fragmented European market. With a total of 17 Trackers, investors can get access to their favourite stocks in their preferred currency and during EU trading hours. Stocks like NIO, Baidu and JD.com have never been more accessible.”
– Oktay Kavrak, Product Strategy @Leverage Shares
