SDP provides -2x leveraged exposure to the S&P Utilities Select Sector Index, a market cap-weighted index of US utilities companies drawn exclusively from the S&P 500. The index includes the following GICS industries: electric, gas, water, and multi-utilities, independent power, and renewable electricity producers. SDP is designed as a short-term trading vehicle, not a long-term investment. It holds swap agreements and resets on a daily basis. As a result, compounding and path dependency make long-term returns difficult to predict when compared with the performance of its underlying index. Prior to March 20, 2023, the fund tracked the Dow Jones US Utilities Index.
