"The book provides an overview of the major characteristics of leveraged exchange-traded funds (LETF), examines their price dynamics, and analyzes the mathematical problems that arise from trading LETFs and pricing LETF options. ... Using the formulas provided, investors can quantify the risk and tailor suitable trading strategies. ... The book is useful reading for both academics and professionals in finance." (Pavel Stoynov, zbMATH 1338.91007, 2016)
