Key Risks

The key risks associated with DLC include the following. It is important to note that the list of risks is not exhaustive.
Similar  to  Shares,  the  value  of  DLCs  are  exposed  to  the  fluctuation  of  the  Securities  market. 
DLCs  have  fixed  leveraged  feature  which  can  magnify  gains.  However,  it  will  also  magnify  losses  during  adverse  market  conditions.
DLCs are issued by an issuer and may be guaranteed by a guarantor. Any failure to either party to perform their obligations could result in the loss of all or part of the investment. 
DLC is designed such that it tracks daily performance of the underlying asset. What that means is that if you buy and hold a DLC beyond one day, your returns may significantly deviate from the 3x or 5x that the DLC is supposed to generate. That’s because the DLC is designed to be traded on an intraday basis, and holding it beyond one day will see a compounding effect coming into play.
