Leverage Shares by Themes announced the launch of the Leverage Shares 2X Long SpaceX Daily ETF (CBOE: SPCH) and the Leverage Shares 2X Short SpaceX Daily ETF (CBOE: SSPC) to meet unprecedented retail demand following SpaceX's initial public offering. Both funds begin trading on June 15 on Cboe and are expected to be available as early as 4:00 AM EST. The funds provide active traders with tools to express short-term bullish or bearish views on SpaceX, which is seeking to raise approximately $75 billion in what could be the largest IPO in history.
SPCH seeks daily investment results corresponding to 200% of the daily performance of SpaceX common stock, while SSPC seeks results corresponding to -200% of the daily performance. Both funds are actively managed and utilize swaps, options, and other derivatives to provide leveraged exposure. A key feature of the launch is the 0.75% management fee for both funds, which is significantly lower than industry averages for comparable leveraged ETFs.

Jose C. Gonzalez Navarro, CEO and Co-Founder of Themes ETFs, emphasized that retail investors demand efficient tools to express high-conviction views without overpaying. He noted that fees matter immensely in leveraged products where costs can compound. Themes Management Company LLC serves as the investment adviser to the Themes ETFs Trust, and the funds are distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc.
The funds carry significant risks, including the potential for investors to lose their entire principal within a single trading day. Due to daily compounding, returns over periods longer than one day are very likely to differ from the stated leverage multiple of SpaceX's performance. The funds are subject to derivatives and counterparty risk, as well as the volatility associated with newly public companies.
How will the launch of these leveraged ETFs influence SpaceX's stock volatility during its initial trading days?
Will the low management fee of 0.75% pressure other providers to reduce fees on similar leveraged products?
What regulatory scrutiny might arise from the introduction of highly volatile leveraged ETFs tied to a major IPO?
