Most posts I could find regarding using 3x ETFs as an investment are basically relating to using that as their core investment.
Does anyone use this to just get minor amounts of leverage in their portfolio?
E.g. suppose 90% is your normal portfolio, but you want to add 30% exposure to long term treasuries. Would it make more sense to hold a 3x long term treasury etf over time or to constantly buy futures, etc.? Some ETFs like NTSX already do this, but I want to see if there is any perspective to share when I don’t necessarily want a 90/60 split.
I would like to add modest leverage here as well so it is mainly a question of long term holds from a tax perspective.
