A Pioneering Launch

Today marked the debut of Miller Value Partners’ second ETF, naming it the Miller Value Partners Leverage ETF (NYSE Arca: MVPL). This innovative fund ventures into uncharted territory by investing primarily in other ETFs that offer unleveraged or leveraged exposure to the S&P 500 Index.

Unique Investment Strategy

With an expense ratio of 1.45%, MVPL aims to drive capital appreciation by heeding signals from exclusive models using technical data. These models dictate daily whether the fund should venture into the unleveraged SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) or a similar fund, or opt for the ProShares Ultra S&P 500 ETF (SSO) or a corresponding fund, offering 2x exposure to the S&P 500 Index.

Managed Risk and Expectations

The fund has the flexibility to hold either ETF for periods exceeding a single day, a feature particularly crucial for SSO due to its daily reset nature. The compounded risk associated with daily leverage mechanisms means that MVPL may not precisely mirror two times the performance of the S&P 500 Index over extended holding durations.

The prospectus explicitly states that MVPL does not aim to provide a specified level of leverage. Furthermore, while the fund can house multiple unleveraged or leveraged ETFs, it staunchly avoids holding a mix of both in its portfolio.

A Glance Back

Miller Value Partners had previously introduced its inaugural ETF, the Miller Value Appreciation ETF (NYSE Arca: MVPA), towards the end of January, showcasing a pattern of innovation and foresight in investment strategies.
