ProShares Issues Leveraged ETFs Tracking Nasdaq-100 Index
What happened
ProShares issued leveraged Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) on September 19, 2026, designed to track the Nasdaq-100 index. These funds include the ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD), which targets two times the Nasdaq-100's daily move, and the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ), which targets three times the daily return. Leveraged ETFs have become a popular method for participating in the technology sector's growth.

Why it matters
The availability of these products allows investors and traders to gain leveraged exposure to the Nasdaq-100. Reports indicate that while higher leverage, such as TQQQ, offers greater gains during market advances, lower leverage, such as QLD, may preserve more capital during serious market selloffs.
