It is a matter of what 100% means.The underlying referenced products use leverage to obtain the additional exposure and stack your exposure to additional assets beyond 100%. Here is some reading for you:
Care to explain the math there? if you do the math with 100% equities + treasuries + futures + gold = ..?..

If you invest $1,000 in a balanced fund that is half stock and hal bonds, then you asset allocation is 50% each, $500, with the total of $1,000.
If you buy $1,000 of a leveraged fund that will behave as $1,000 of stocks and $1,000 of bonds, then you have the same amount of stock exposure as you do bond exposure and your asset allocation is still 50/50.
The allocation is no different than if you had done it yourself, borrowed $1,000, added it to the $1,000 you already have and bought $2,000 of the 50/50 balanced fund.
The asset allocation is a percent of total invested, which includes assets purchased with leverage.
