SK Hynix Leverage ETF Investors Face 34% Loss as Stock Falls Only 7%, Trapped by Volatility Drag

SK Hynix-11.52%
According to Korea Exchange, on July 16, investors in single-stock leveraged ETFs tracking SK Hynix saw losses of 34%, far exceeding the stock's 7% decline. The excessive losses stem from volatility drag, a phenomenon where the 2x daily-return tracking structure causes compounding losses during price fluctuations, eroding principal continuously despite the underlying asset's modest movement.
