| Investment Objective: |
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that, under ordinary market conditions, seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correlate to two times (2x) the daily performance of the State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund ("Underlying ETF"). For purposes of the Fund's name, "U.S. Materials" refers to U.S. materials sector equity exposure, including chemicals, metals and mining, construction materials, and packaging, as represented by the Underlying ETF. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective on a single trading day basis only; returns for periods longer than one trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period and should not be expected to equal two times (2x) the cumulative performance of the Underlying ETF for the same period. To pursue its 2x Daily Objective, the Fund expects to obtain most of its exposure through derivatives, primarily through total return swap agreements with major financial institutions, whereby the Fund and the swap counterparty agree to exchange the return on a notional amount linked to the Underlying ETF or a basket of its constituents, calculated on a daily basis, to provide leveraged exposure equal to approximately 200% of the Fund's net assets. |
