What this measures
A leveraged fund borrows against its own assets to hold more than a dollar of exposure per dollar you invest. The distribution rises with the exposure; so does the drawdown, and the interest is owed either way.
What it does not tell you
Leverage does not improve a strategy, it enlarges it — in both directions. Judge these on total return through a full cycle against the unleveraged version of the same mandate, which is the only comparison that isolates what the borrowing actually bought.
Rankings are a starting point.
What matters is what your holdings paid you, on your cost base — track every distribution against the trades you actually made.
