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.

Our take

Warning

Your return drifts the longer you hold

Leverage amplifies the index's daily move, by 2x or 3x. The fund resets every day, so over weeks and months your real return drifts from that multiple. It can run ahead in a smooth climb and bleed in a choppy one. Hold one for months and you own a different bet than the label suggests.
