Two banks have recently introduced exchange traded notes offering double-leveraged exposure to European blue-chip companies.
Barclays ETN+ FI Enhanced Europe 50 ETN (NYSEArca: FEEU) has gathered more than $875 million in assets in just a few short months, and Credit Suisse FI Enhanced Europe 50 ETN (NYSEArca: FIEU) already has more than $50 million in assets since rolling out early this month, the Morningstar analyst points out.
“While we generally don’t recommend that most investors consider leveraged ETPs—especially not as a long-term buy-and-hold investment–these two ETNs’ rapid asset growth suggests to us that there is considerable interest among investors in gaining supercharged exposure to European stocks,” Goldsborough wrote.
