About

Gives investors a simple and accessible way to obtain magnified ‘short’ exposure to the U.S. sharemarket

• A 1% fall in the U.S. share market on a given day can generally be expected to deliver a 2.0% to 2.75% increase in the value of the Fund (and vice versa)
• Hedge U.S. share portfolios against falling markets via an efficient use of capital
• Can be used to seek profits when U.S. share markets decline
• No need to borrow shares or use proprietary trading platforms in order to obtain a magnified short exposure
