Leverage Shares to Close Thirteen ETFs Due to Low Assets
The Board of Trustees for Themes ETF Trust has decided to liquidate thirteen ETFs due to their inability to attract sufficient investment assets. The affected funds, all part of the Leverage Shares family and offering leveraged exposure to various stocks or indices, will cease trading on October 19, 2026. Shareholders are advised to sell holdings before this date as liquidity may be limited during a brief liquidation period. The ETFs will no longer pursue their stated investment objectives once they begin the process of increasing cash and reducing exposure in preparation for full asset liquidation by October 22, 2026. Shareholders who have not sold or redeemed shares before this date will receive pro-rata distributions from the liquidated assets, which may be taxable events. Leverage Shares, a provider of leveraged ETPs since 2017, has previously launched thematic and sector-based ETF products through Themes ETF Trust. The decision to close these funds reflects ongoing challenges in attracting investor capital for niche or highly specialized financial instruments.
