Hendrik Bessembinder told the Rational Reminder hosts that leveraged single-stock ETFs have material costs and tail risks, finding long 2x/3x products underperform a frictionless leveraged benchmark by about 0.79% per month (roughly >9% annually) and short products by ~1% per month. He cautioned against simplistic ‘volatility decay’ narratives, distinguishing real-time leverage dynamics for single stocks versus index-based constant-leverage ETFs. Bessembinder also previewed potential future work on index leveraged ETFs and discussed a pair of papers proposing investor-focused return measures — the sustainable return and proportional sustainable return — that incorporate spending and investor-specific objectives. The conversation stresses the gap between product marketing and actual net investor outcomes and pushes for academic finance to adopt planning-relevant metrics.
