About this ETF
The Defiance Daily Target 2X Long MSTR ETF (referred to as "the Fund") is designed to deliver daily investment returns that are two times (200%) the daily percentage change in the share price of MicroStrategy Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR). Distinct from most traditional exchange-traded funds, this Fund employs a leveraged, daily-resetting strategy, and there is no guarantee it will consistently meet its stated daily objective. Investors should be aware that its cumulative performance over periods longer than a single day will very likely not be double the cumulative return of MSTR.
