FAS is an aggressive and bullish one-day bet on large-cap US financials stocks. It provides 3x leveraged exposure to a market cap-weighted index that captures the financials segment of the S&P 500 based on GICS. To gain exposure to the index, FAS invests in swap agreements, securities of the index, and ETFs that track the index. As a leveraged product, FAS is not a buy-and-hold ETF, it is a short-term tactical instrument. The fund rebalances daily. As a result, compounding and path dependency make its long-term returns difficult to predict when compared with its underlying index. Over longer periods, returns can vary significantly from 3x exposure to its underlying index. Prior to February 28, 2022, the fund tracked the Russell 1000 Financials Services Index. On August 1, 2022, the fund ceased tracking the Russell 1000 Financials 40 Act 15/22.5 Daily Capped Index.
