ICE Indices licensed by Global X Investments Canada for four BetaPro ETFs
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE) today announced that ICE Indices have been licensed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. for four BetaPro ETFs.
The ETFs provide three times (300%) and inverse three times (-300%) daily exposure to the performance of key U.S. market segments ranging from semiconductors to U.S. treasuries.
“We are excited to work with ICE indices for the benchmarks underlying Canada’s latest 3X leveraged and inverse ETFs,” said Chris McHaney, Executive Vice President, Investment Management & Strategy at Global X. “With a built-in currency hedge to help neutralize U.S. dollar movements, our BetaPro 3X and -3X ETFs can offer Canadian investors a more refined tool for dynamic trading and portfolio diversification.”
The BetaPro 3X US Treasury 20+ Year Daily Leveraged Bull Alternative ETF (TTLT) and the BetaPro -3X US Treasury 20+ Year Daily Leveraged Bear Alternative ETF (STLT) are designed to provide 300% and -300% of the daily performance, respectively, of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, which measures U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt issued by the U.S. government.
Similarly, the BetaPro 3X Semiconductor Daily Leveraged Bull Alternative ETF (SOXL) and the BetaPro -3X Semiconductor Daily Leveraged Bear Alternative ETF (SOXS) aim to deliver 300% and -300% of the daily performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index, a market capitalization-weighted index of the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies.
“We’re pleased to work with Global X on these new ETFs, which span multiple asset classes and provide Canadian investors with tools to gain or manage exposure to U.S. market dynamics,” said Preston Peacock, Head of ICE Data Indices. “Built on ICE’s transparent, rules-based methodology, these indices track key market segments like Treasuries and semiconductors with precision and flexibility.”
