Key Terms

leveraged etfs, inverse exposure, nav, reset period

4 terms

leveraged etfs financial

"expects to launch four single-stock leveraged ETFs on Tuesday"

Leveraged ETFs are exchange-traded funds designed to amplify the daily performance of an underlying index or asset, often by two or three times, using financial techniques to boost gains and losses. They matter to investors because they can act like a financial magnifying glass—quickly increasing profits in short-term moves but also rapidly increasing losses, so they are typically used for short-term trading or tactical bets rather than long-term investing.

inverse exposure financial

"will provide investors with 2X long or inverse exposure to four"

A position that moves opposite to the price of an asset, sector, or index: when the underlying falls, the inverse exposure tends to rise, and vice versa. Investors use it to offset losses or to try to profit from declines without owning the underlying asset; common forms include short positions, inverse exchange-traded funds, and certain derivatives. Think of it as a financial mirror that flips gains and losses relative to the original asset.

nav financial

"ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV)"

Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.

View in glossary

reset period technical

"over periods longer than the specified reset period"

A reset period is the scheduled interval when a variable or floating interest rate, pricing reference, or contract parameter is recalculated and updated for the next term. Think of it like regularly adjusting a thermostat: at each reset the rate is set based on a reference index or formula, and that new setting determines upcoming payments or valuations. Investors care because resets change cash flow amounts and interest-rate exposure, which affects income, risk, and market value of the instrument.

All four ETFs represent first-to-market strategies on actively traded technology stocks 

NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tradr ETFs, a provider of ETFs designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders, expects to launch four single-stock leveraged ETFs on Tuesday, August 18.

About Tradr ETFs

Tradr ETFs are designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders who are looking to express high conviction investment views. The strategies include leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek short or long exposure to actively traded stocks and ETFs.

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION

Tradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other ETFs. The Funds are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles and 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.

Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking 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.

Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Funds, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Funds and their reference security. The Funds seek leveraged investment results for a specific period (daily, monthly or quarterly). The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-period will depend upon the movement of the reference security from the end of the prior period until the time of investment by the investor.

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 the full principal value. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.tradretfs.com. The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
