Competitors
Key Competitors
- MSOS
Competitive Landscape

Benchmark Comparison: The ETF aims to achieve 2x the daily performance of the MSOS ETF. Deviations can occur due to tracking error and compounding effects.
Expense Ratio: 1.54
Liquidity
Average Trading Volume
The ETF has a moderate average trading volume, which can impact the ease of buying and selling shares.
Bid-Ask Spread
The bid-ask spread can be relatively wide due to its leveraged nature and niche market focus, which can increase transaction costs.
Market Dynamics
Market Environment Factors
The ETF's performance is influenced by the regulatory environment surrounding cannabis, investor sentiment toward the cannabis industry, and broader market conditions.
Growth Trajectory
The growth trajectory is closely tied to the performance of the underlying MSOS ETF and investor appetite for leveraged cannabis exposure. Changes to the cannabis industry, such as federal legalization could positively impact the holdings.
Moat and Competitive Advantages
Competitive Edge
MSOX's competitive advantage lies in its offering of leveraged exposure to the U.S. cannabis sector. This appeals to investors seeking amplified returns, while also acknowledging heightened risks. It is a niche product and one of the few leveraged options in the cannabis space. The ETFu2019s success depends on the sustained growth of the U.S. cannabis market and precise tracking of its leveraged strategy.
Risk Analysis
Volatility
The ETF exhibits high volatility due to its leveraged strategy and the inherent volatility of the cannabis sector.
Market Risk
The ETF is subject to market risk related to fluctuations in cannabis stock prices, regulatory changes, and broader economic conditions. The leveraged nature amplifies these risks.
Investor Profile
Ideal Investor Profile
The ideal investor is an experienced trader with a high-risk tolerance, seeking short-term tactical exposure to the U.S. cannabis sector.
Market Risk
The ETF is best suited for active traders due to its leveraged structure and daily reset. It is not suitable for long-term, buy-and-hold investors.
Summary
AdvisorShares MSOS 2x Daily ETF (MSOX) offers a leveraged approach to investing in the U.S. cannabis market, seeking twice the daily returns of the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS). This ETF is tailored for experienced traders seeking short-term tactical exposure. Due to its leverage and volatility, it is not suited for long-term investors. The ETF's performance is highly dependent on the growth and regulatory landscape of the cannabis industry. Its high expense ratio and potential tracking error should also be carefully considered.
