As a stock investor, you may check your stock prices on a daily, or even hourly basis. There are times when you want to leverage up to buy more; there are times when you want to sell your position or even short the stock.
You may think of opening a margin account, or going to CFD.
Now there is a new way that may be easier and more transparent - you can trade Daily Leverage Certificates on single stocks!
Long DLCs allow you to generate leveraged return when the Underlying Asset goes up. On the other hand, Short DLCs increase in value when the Underlying Asset goes down, allowing investors to achieve positive and leveraged return during market downturn.

Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) are designed to multiply the Daily Performance of an Underlying Asset by a factor, e.g. 3, 5 or 7 times. This means that for every $1 invested in a DLC, you can generate the same profit or loss as if you invested $3, $5 or $7 in the Underlying Asset directly!
Example: If the Underlying Asset goes up by 1% today, your 7X Long DLC would go up by 7%*. To put into dollar terms, say you buy a 7Xlong DLC at $5,000 today when the Underlying Asset is at 100. Tomorrow the Underlying Asset goes up to 101 (up by 1%). your DLC will be at $5,350 (up by 7%*). Selling it will earn you $350.
*Before costs & fees. Losses are leveraged as well as gains.
