Fund aim

The L&G DAX® Daily 2x Long UCITS ETF (the "ETF") is an exchange traded fund that aims to track the performance of the LevDAX® x2 Index (the "Index").

  • Potential for magnified losses

Potential losses in leveraged products (such as this ETF) are significantly magnified in comparison to investments that do not incorporate leverage.

  • Leveraged exposure

For periods of longer than one day, the return of the Index is not the same as the return of the Underlying Index multiplied by a factor of 2. This is because the x2 leverage factor is reset on a daily basis (i.e. the x2 leverage factor is applied to the performance of the Underlying Index on each day).
The daily reset has a “compounding effect” which means that, the more volatile the performance of the Underlying Index, the more the performance of the Index (and therefore the ETF) will deviate from the performance of the Underlying Index (multiplied by a leverage factor of 2) over a given period of time.
Accordingly, this ETF may not be a suitable investment for periods of longer than one day.

LevDAX® x2 Index

The LevDAX® x2 Index (the “Index”) is a leveraged index. The daily percentage change in the level of the Index is intended to reflect twice the daily percentage change in the level of the DAX® Index (the “Underlying Index”) less an implied amount reflecting the cost of borrowing additional capital to invest in the Underlying Index portfolio so as to create the leveraged exposure (the “Financing Cost”).

The Underlying Index is comprised of 30 of the largest and most liquid companies which are publically traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Size is determined by reference to the total market value of the proportion of a company’s shares that are freely tradable by the public (i.e. not subject to any restrictions or fixed ownership) and “liquidity” is determined by reference to how actively a company’s shares are traded). Each company is weighted according to its relative size.

In tracking the Index, the ETF is exposed on each day to a multiple (by a factor of 2) of that day’s movement in the value of the Underlying Index less the Financing Cost built into the Index and charges and expenses applied to the ETF. As the Index rebalances daily, the ETF may not be a suitable investment for periods of longer than one day.

    Key risks

    The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. You may not get back the amount you originally invested.

    Past performance is not a guide to the future.

    General investment risks: An investment in this ETF involves a significant degree of risk. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the key investor information document and the prospectus. Prospective investors should obtain independent accounting, tax and legal advice and should consult their professional advisers to ascertain the suitability of this ETF as an investment to their own circumstances.

    Potential losses in leveraged products (such as this ETF) are significantly magnified in comparison to investments that do not incorporate leverage.

    For periods of longer than one day, the return of the Index is not the same as the return of the Underlying Index multiplied by a factor of 2. This is because the x2 leverage factor is reset on a daily basis (i.e. the x2 leverage factor is applied to the performance of the Underlying Index on each day). The daily reset has a “compounding effect” which means that, the more volatile the performance of the Underlying Index, the more the performance of the Index (and therefore the ETF) will deviate from the performance of the Underlying Index (multiplied by a leverage factor of 2) over a given period of time.

    If a swap counterparty is no longer willing or able to continue entering into swaps with the ETF, the ETF will not be able to continue tracking the Index.

    If a swap counterparty increases the cost of entering into swaps with the ETF, the ETF’s performance will be negatively impacted.

    Third party service providers (such as swap counterparties or the ETF’s depositary) may go bankrupt and fail to pay money due to the ETF or return property belonging to the ETF.

    If the Index provider stops calculating the Index or if the ETF’s license to track the Index is terminated, the ETF may have to be closed.

    It may not always be possible to buy and sell ETF shares on a stock exchange or at prices closely reflecting the NAV.

    There is no capital guarantee or protection on the value of the ETF. Investors can lose all the capital invested in the ETF.

    For more information, please refer to the key investor information document.
