Our read on NOWL

ETF.net Research

In short

CA pure trading instrument: NOWL aims to deliver twice ServiceNow's daily move via total-return swaps, reset at every close. Heavily traded for a single-stock leverage fund, and it tracks that daily target closely.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to twice the daily percentage change of ServiceNow, Inc.'s common stock.

Why people hold it

  • Day by day it has stayed close to its stated goal of twice ServiceNow's daily percentage change, with little slippage.graniteshares.com
  • Very actively traded for a single-name leverage fund, which usually means tighter spreads and easier entries and exits over short holding periods.
  • Gets its 200% exposure through total-return swaps on NOW backed by Treasury bills and cash, so there is no margin account or options chain to manage.graniteshares.comsec.gov
  • Sits in the upper half of a crowded field of leveraged single-stock funds on how well it does the job it advertises.

Worth knowing

  • Costs 1.50% net (1.51% gross), net of a waiver through December 31, 2026, and sits above the category median; Leverage Shares peers OKTG (0.75%) and TSMG (0.76%) charge less.
  • The 2x applies to one trading day. Hold longer and daily compounding can pull results away from twice NOW's move over the period, especially in choppy markets.graniteshares.com
  • One stock, doubled: earnings gaps land twice as hard, and the fund's own filings describe it as built for investors who monitor positions frequently.sec.gov
