Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

UYM seeks to provide 2x the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Basic Materials Index, which tracks companies in the basic materials sector.

🎯 Investment Strategy

UYM uses derivatives, such as swaps and futures contracts, to provide leveraged exposure to the underlying index. The fund aims to achieve its 2x target on a daily basis, but its performance may deviate from this target over longer time periods due to the effects of compounding.

✨ Key Features

  • Provides 2x leveraged exposure to the U.S. basic materials sector
  • Utilizes derivatives to achieve its targeted daily performance
  • Designed for short-term trading, not long-term buy-and-hold
  • Has not yet accumulated any assets under management

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Significant risk of loss due to the leveraged nature of the fund
  • Potential for divergence from the 2x daily target over longer time frames
  • Increased volatility compared to the underlying index
  • Liquidity risk due to low trading volume and assets under management

👤 Best For

UYM is best suited for experienced, risk-tolerant investors with a short-term trading horizon who seek to amplify their exposure to the U.S. basic materials sector. This fund is not recommended for long-term buy-and-hold investors due to the effects of compounding and the risks associated with leveraged products.
