UNHGALeverage Shares 2x Long UNH Daily ETF

VRTLDGraniteShares 2x Long VRT Daily ETF

In short

UNHG Two times UnitedHealth's daily move, reset every night: a managed-care insurer in a category stuffed with chip and AI names. UNHG got there first, and it charges 0.77%.

VRTL Vertiv sells the power gear and liquid cooling inside AI data centers. VRTL takes that one stock and gears it 2x, one session at a time, resetting daily. A trader's instrument by design, per its own fact sheet.

Stated mandate

UNHG The fund seeks daily investment results equal to twice the daily performance of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated stock, before fees and expenses.

VRTL The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to two times the daily percentage change of Vertiv Holdings Co.'s common stock.

Why people hold it

  • UNHG At 0.77%, the cheaper of the only two 2x UNH funds: Direxion's UNHU runs 0.97% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027. Both sit below the category's typical fee.
  • First to the 2x UNH trade, listed July 2025, months before Direxion's version arrived in March 2026. It trades actively for a single-stock leveraged fund.direxion.com
  • Exposure comes from total return swaps reset at each close, and day-to-day it has stayed close to its 2x target. One of the better-built funds in a crowded bull field.leverageshares.comsec.gov
  • VRTL The underlying isn't a chip designer: Vertiv builds the UPS gear, power distribution and liquid cooling that keep data centers running. VRTL gears that picks-and-shovels name 2x.vertiv.com
  • Tight to its mandate: day over day it has tracked close to the 2x of VRT it advertises, which is the entire job of a daily leveraged fund.
  • No margin account or options approval needed. The 2x sits inside an ETF wrapper and GraniteShares resets the exposure every session.graniteshares.com

Worth knowing

  • UNHG Daily reset means multi-day results depend on the path UNH takes, not just its direction. Choppy stretches can erode value even if the stock ends where it started.leverageshares.com
  • Swap-based exposure carries counterparty risk, and everything rides on one managed-care company's news, from earnings to policy headlines.leverageshares.com
  • Listed in 2025, so there is little history to judge it across a full market cycle.
  • VRTL Daily reset math: GraniteShares states the fund should not be expected to deliver 2x VRT's cumulative return over periods longer than a day.graniteshares.com
  • Above the category norm on cost: 1.50% net of a waiver through December 31, 2026, versus 3.83% gross. Peers TSMG (0.76%) and OKTG (0.75%) charge less, no waiver.
  • One stock, one story: an earnings night moves VRTL at double speed, and with a 2025 launch there's a short record behind it.
