Products and Services

• Inverse Leveraged Exposure to Kospi 200

This ETN is specifically designed to provide inverse leveraged exposure to the Kospi 200 Index. For investors anticipating a downturn in the South Korean stock market, it offers a strategic option to profit from negative movements in the index. The product achieves this by aiming to replicate twice the inverse of the index's daily performance. Therefore, if the index falls by a given percentage on a particular day, the ETN seeks to generate double that percentage in positive returns, and vice versa, thereby offering a high-risk, high-reward investment proposition.

For investors with portfolios that have significant exposure to South Korean equities or the broader Asian market, this ETN serves as a potent hedging tool. By providing inverse leveraged returns relative to the Kospi 200 Index, it enables investors to protect their investments against potential declines in the market. This is particularly advantageous during periods of market volatility or bearish market trends in South Korea, allowing investors to mitigate losses in their portfolio's value by capitalizing on the negative market movements.
