ETRACS Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged US High Dividend Low Volatility ETN Series B (HDLB)

Overview

The described investment strategy focuses on leveraging the price return version of the ISE High Income™ Index through a financial instrument issued by UBS AG, known as the Securities. These Securities represent a method of obtaining a twice leveraged long exposure to a carefully selected and ranked portfolio of 30 U.S. closed-end funds. The leveraging strategy aims to amplify the returns from the underlying index, but it also comes with an associated increase in risk, including the reduction of return by accrued fees. The instrument is classified as a senior unsecured debt, highlighting that in the event of issuer bankruptcy, holders of the Securities would be prioritized among creditors, though still behind secured debt holders.
