MicroSectors FANG & Innovation -3X ETN (BERZ)

The MicroSectors Solactive FANG & Innovation 3X Leveraged ETN, ticker BULZ, is designed to provide three times the daily return of an underlying index composed of leading FANG and technology enterprises that meet specific eligibility standards. This index consistently features a fixed set of eight core constituents: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, NVIDIA, and Tesla. An additional seven companies are integrated based on a defined selection methodology. To qualify for inclusion, securities must be traded on a U.S. exchange, categorized within the technology sector, and boast a minimum market capitalization of $10 billion. The selection procedure for the seven supplementary firms begins by identifying the 30 largest eligible companies by market capitalization. These 30 are then re-ordered according to their average daily trading value over the preceding twelve months. The top seven stocks from this final ranking, alongside the eight core firms, collectively constitute the index, with all fifteen components receiving equal weighting. The index undergoes adjustments to its component weightings each month, while a full reconstitution of its composition occurs quarterly. It is crucial to understand that BULZ is a leveraged product featuring a 3x factor that resets daily. Consequently, it is not suitable for long-term holding strategies, and investors should not expect its performance to replicate triple the index's returns over periods exceeding a single trading day.
