Why invest in SPOG from India
What SPOG holds
The SPOG ETF, offered by Leverage Shares, is a specialized financial instrument crafted for active traders. This exchange-traded fund operates as a 2x daily leveraged (bull) product, meaning its primary objective is to provide twice (200%) the daily percentage performance of SPOT stock.
Hold a dollar asset
SPOG is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
Buy a fraction of a unit
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one SPOG unit. There is no minimum trade size.
