On May 26th, London, Leverage Shares, the pioneer of physically-backed single stock ETPs, is listing the world’s first Stock Tracker ETPs on London Stock Exchange, Euronext Amsterdam and Paris. The Stock Tracker ETPs break boundaries and level the playing field by making investing more accessible.
With the recent boom in single stock investing, the traded volume of Leverage Shares ETPs has almost doubled in Q1 2021 vs the previous quarter. Leverage Shares continues to expand its innovative portfolio with the release of Stock Tracker ETPs.
The Stock Tracker ETPs come in response to demand from investors keen on simple and safer products. This newest addition permits single stock tracking without leverage, diminishing the risk and allowing for fractional trading, launching at $5 per share on otherwise costly stocks of prominent public companies. The Stock Trackers ETPs 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.
“Our entire business model is focused on democratising access to investing. Many legacy brokers still don’t offer fractional trading, so investors have to shell our north of $3000 for a single share of Amazon and pay FX fees along the way. The Stock Trackers remove yet another barrier to make widespread investing accessible across borders and demographics.”
– Oktay Kavrak, Product Strategy @Leverage Shares
“We are delighted to welcome Leverage Shares back to London Stock Exchange with the listing of their Stock Tracker ETPs, a first for the market, and new 3x leveraged ETPs, all tracking single US stocks.

– Lida Eslami, Head of Business Development, ETP and IOB, London Stock Exchange
