leveraged portion, leverage ratio, leverage


Explanation:
"Closed-End ETFs typically have a leverage ratio between 33% to 50% of assets." see http://www.etfconnect.com/education/pref_faq.asp

"Financing of Leverage. The leveraged portion of the Orbis Leveraged US$ Fund’s portfolio is financed primarily with bank loans at competitive rates secured by the assets of the Fund."
see www.orbisfunds.com/reports/ProspAbsolute.pdf

Depending on the precise context, you might even consider using "leverage" by itself.
