Full fund details

Objective
Provides 2x leveraged long exposure to the compounded quarterly performance of the Russell 2000 TR USD Index, less Accrued Fees.
Strategy
Provides 2x leveraged long exposure to the compounded quarterly performance of the Russell 2000 TR USD Index — U.S. small-cap equities — captured as the small-cap size factor. The leverage resets quarterly (not daily), so two times the quarterly index return is the target. Accrued Tracking Fee + Financing Fee reduce returns.

Warning

Leveraged ETF — not a long-term hold

This fund uses leverage to amplify daily returns (e.g. 2x or 3x of an index). Daily rebalancing creates volatility decay — over weeks and months, the fund's return drifts from the stated multiple. In trending markets with low realised volatility, leveraged index ETFs can outperform their nominal multiple; in sideways or volatile markets they bleed. Designed for short-term tactical use, not buy-and-hold.
