About the Index

The ShortDAX® x2 Index is a leveraged index with a short exposure which aims to provide the inverse of twice the daily percentage change in the level of the DAX® Index.

The DAX® Index is a market-capitalisation weighted index, which represents the performance of the 30 largest and most actively traded companies that are listed at the FWB® Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (the Frankfurt Stock Exchange).

Risk warning: Due to the compounding of daily returns, returns measured over periods longer than one day may differ from twice the underlying index return over that longer period. ETFs tracking double short & leveraged equity indices are only suitable for sophisticated investors who understand leverage, compounded daily returns and are willing to magnify potential losses.

Please see the Prospectus for a more detailed explanation and a more complete list of risks. For Frequently Asked Questions about ETFs tracking double short & leveraged equity indices click here.
