Portfolio Leverage Ratio
Portfolio leverage can be created through the use of borrowing, through investing the proceeds from short sales or through the use of derivative instruments. Leverage provides investors risk and opportunity. As a leading provider of performance and risk analytics, many clients are asking BNY Mellon Asset Servicing how we measure leverage as there is no current industry standard. To demystify the concept of leverage, this paper provides a straightforward approach to calculating and monitoring portfolio leverage.
