WisdomTree has launched four thematic exchange-traded products (ETPs) providing triple-short and triple-leveraged exposure to the Magnificent 7 stocks and semiconductor companies.
The Magnificent 7 refers to Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Nvidia and Tesla. These companies have driven a significant share of equity market returns in recent years due to their dominance of sectors such as AI, cloud computing and consumer tech.
WisdomTree has launched the WisdomTree Magnificent 7 3x Daily Leveraged and WisdomTree Magnificent 7 3x Daily Short ETPs to provide “tactical exposure” to these companies through the WisdomTree US Bluechip Select index.
Meanwhile, the WisdomTree PHLX Semiconductor 3x Daily Leveraged and WisdomTree PHLX Semiconductor 3x Daily Short offer exposure to the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Net Total Return index.
Semiconductor stocks have delivered strong performance in recent years, driven by rising demand for chips in artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and cloud infrastructure. The sector has outpaced broader equity markets at times, reflecting both cyclical tailwinds and long-term structural growth trends.
Each fund carries a management expense ratio of 0.75%. The ETPs are designed for short-term use and are not suitable for buy-and-hold strategies due to their daily leverage and their compounding effects.
Pierre Debru, head of research, Europe at WisdomTree, said: “The launch of these short and leveraged ETPs on the Magnificent 7 and semiconductor sector provides investors with tactical ways to express high-conviction views on areas that continue to play an outsized role in market dynamics.
“These exposures reflect key themes from the concentration of equity returns to the expanding role of AI in global growth. In the current environment, the ability to adjust exposure with flexibility, whether to participate in ongoing trends or navigate potential short-term reversals, can be a useful addition to an investor’s toolkit.”
WisdomTree manages $2.6bn in short and leveraged ETPs across more than 100 listings in Europe. The new ETPs are passported for sale in 15 countries, including the UK, Germany, France and Italy.
