200% leverage on SpaceX stock
Tradr 2X Long SpaceX Daily ETF
The Tradr 2X Long SpaceX Daily ETF seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (200%) the daily performance of the common shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq: SPCX). The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a trading day.
Risk factors
Tradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other exchange-traded funds. Know the risks before you invest. The significant risks of leveraged and/or inverse ETFs include the risks of leverage, derivatives, and/or other complex investment strategies that they employ. These investments are designed for short-term trading for investors seeking daily, monthly or quarterly leveraged investment results…
Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily, calendar month and calendar quarter inverse and leveraged investment results; (c) for short ETFs, understand the risk of shorting; (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. Fund performance will likely be significantly different than the benchmark over periods longer than the specified reset period and the performance may trend in the opposite direction than its benchmark over periods other than that period.
The Funds seek leveraged investment results over a specific period and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. The Funds pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.
The Fund will not attempt to position its portfolio to ensure it does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, investors in a Fund that seeks two times daily performance would lose all of their money if the Fund’s underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund on a given trading day.
ETFs involve risk including possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Tradr 2X Long SpaceX Daily ETF (SPCM) is designed for high conviction investors who are looking for 200% long exposure to the daily performance of SpaceX common stock (Nasdaq: SPCX) SPCM should only be used by knowledgeable traders and active investors who understand the risks of leveraged ETFs for short-term or intraday trading.
The fund is not suitable for investors who do not actively monitor or manage their portfolios or for investors looking for a long-term investment in SpaceX common stock.
SPCM may use total return swaps and other derivatives such as options to seek two times the daily performance of SpaceX common stock. SPCM is rebalanced daily to maintain leverage and to pursue its daily performance target. There can be no assurance that SPCM will achieve its objectives.
SPCM has an annual expense ratio of 1.49%.
SPCM is listed on the Cboe, one of the three major U.S. stock exchanges. Check with your financial advisor or online broker to see if SPCM is available to trade on their platform.
While a limit order is the most conservative route, it may take longer for your order to get executed. If you have specific questions about a larger order size, please call your financial advisor or the trading desk of your online brokerage platform.
Yes, options are available on SPCM.
There is no need to choose a strike price or expiry date when trading SPCM as ETFs do not have an expiry date. Therefore you don’t need to worry about rolling your position. In addition, while leveraged ETFs generally have a daily reset, there is no theta or time decay which is a characteristic of options. Lastly, SPCM consistently seeks 2x leverage. With options your effective leverage, or delta, is constantly shifting.
SPCM’s end of day net asset value (NAV), seeks to deliver approximately two times the end of day (4 p.m. EST) return of SPCX. Intraday, the last sale percentage change of SPCM may not necessarily reflect 2X the last sale percentage change of SPCX . It is the various liquidity providers, including market makers, who are responsible for posting bids and offers on SPCM. Those quoted prices are beyond the control of the portfolio managers of SPCM. In addition, while we manage the fund's exposure to target 2X SPCX's daily performance, the ETF's closing market price can trade at a premium or discount to NAV based on supply and demand at the time of market close. As a result, intraday price movements may differ from exactly 200% the underlying stock, even when the fund's NAV is tracking its objective closely. As disclosed in the prospectus, SPCM seeks to achieve its investment objective on a daily basis and should not be expected to provide exactly 2X the performance of SPCX over periods shorter or longer than a trading day.
Because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times (200%) SpaceX common stock, a single day decline in SPCX approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of an investor’s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if SpaceX subsequently rises or moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier decline.
SPCM seeks 200% of the daily performance of SpaceX stock. Because the fund resets its leverage daily, returns over periods longer than one day can differ significantly from 200% of the stock's return for the same period, particularly during volatile or trending market conditions.
SPCM primarily uses swaps and other derivatives such as options to obtain leveraged exposure to SpaceX stock. However, at times it may be advantageous for SPCM shareholders for the fund to directly hold a small portion of its assets in SPCX.
SPCM is a leveraged ETF and can be significantly more volatile than SpaceX stock itself. Investors may lose money rapidly, including a substantial portion of their investment in a single trading day. Before investing, carefully review the fund's prospectus and risk disclosures.
No. Your losses are generally limited to the amount you invest in the fund. However, because SPCM is a leveraged ETF, you could lose a substantial portion or even all of your investment in a short period of time.
Both strategies seek to increase exposure to SpaceX stock, but they work differently. Margin investing involves borrowing money from your broker and may require additional funds to be deposited if the value of your position declines. SPCM provides leveraged exposure in a single ETF wrapper and does not require investors to maintain a margin account or meet margin calls.
If trading in SpaceX stock is halted, SPCM may be unable to accurately price its holdings or rebalance its portfolio, especially if the halt is not lifted by the close of the trading day. In certain circumstances, trading in SPCM may also be halted. Please see the prospectus for additional information regarding trading halts and other market disruptions.
The fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated at the end of each trading day by taking the total value of the fund's assets, subtracting liabilities and expenses, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
Like all ETFs, SPCM's market price is determined by supply and demand and can differ from its NAV. As a result, shares may trade at a premium (above NAV) or a discount (below NAV), particularly during periods of market volatility or when bid-ask spreads widen.
While some brokerage platforms allow ETFs to be traded outside of regular trading hours, investors prefer to trade ETFs during normal market hours, soon after the market has opened, and during the final minutes of trading, when liquidity is often greater and bid-ask spreads may be narrower. Investors should consult their financial advisor regarding the trading strategy that is appropriate for their circumstances.
Volatility decay refers to the impact that daily compounding can have on the returns of leveraged ETFs over periods longer than one day. In volatile markets, a leveraged ETF's return may differ significantly from the stated multiple of the underlying stock's return for the same period, particularly when prices fluctuate up and down.
Leveraged ETFs are typically more sensitive to market movements than the underlying stock itself. During periods of high volatility, daily compounding can cause returns over periods longer than one day to differ significantly from the fund's stated leverage multiple. As a result, performance can be highly dependent on both the direction and volatility of the underlying stock's price movements.
