The key risk is the compounding/volatility decay inherent in daily rebalanced leveraged products, which can cause significant divergence from 3x the benchmark return over periods longer than one day.

Risk Factors
- Leveraged products can lose full principal value within a single day due to 3x daily rebalancing
- Compounding of daily returns causes performance over longer periods to differ significantly from 3x the benchmark return
- Futures roll costs (contango) can create negative roll yield, particularly for natural gas (historically in contango >80% of time) and crude oil
- Digital asset funds (Bitcoin, Ether) face regulatory uncertainty, cybersecurity risks, and limited futures market liquidity
- Funds are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, so shareholders lack certain regulatory protections
