Leverage products give you as an investor the opportunity to participate disproportionately in the price gains and losses of a share or index.
The reason for this is the lower capital investment compared to a direct investment.
There are basically two types of leverage product:
bull or long products are suitable for participating in an increase in the price of the underlying asset.
bear or short products are suitable for participating in a fall in the price of the underlying asset.
Both types can lead to disproportionately high profits but also disproportionately high losses.
