SSG is designed for those looking to make short-term bearish bets on the semiconductor sector. The fund provides 2x leveraged inverse exposure to a market-cap-weighted index of US companies in the semiconductor industry, as classified by S&P Dow Jones. As a levered product, the fund is not a buy-and-hold ETF, it's a short-term tactical instrument. Like many levered funds, SSG promises 2x exposure only for one day. Over longer periods, returns can vary significantly from 2x exposure to its underlying index.
