DMost 2x S&P 500 funds leave the leverage on all day, every day. MVPL is the one with a switch: an active fund that flips between plain index exposure and 2x leveraged ETFs on its adviser's daily signal.
The fund seeks capital appreciation through active management of equity securities, index-tracking and leveraged ETFs, and swaps linked to the S&P 500, using daily signals to vary leveraged or unleveraged exposure.
