TECS offers investors a means of playing out their bearish bets on the technology sector. The fund provides -3x exposure to the S&P Technology Select Sector Indexa market-cap-weighted index of US tech companies selected from the S&P 500. TECS tracks the exact same index as XLKthe Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF. That makes it a narrow bet against the highly concentrated tech sector, with just a few names comprising a huge fraction of the index. Unlike XLK, TECS is designed to be a short-term trading vehiclenot a long-term investment. TECS rebalances its exposure on a daily basis. As a result, the fund's long-term returns are difficult to predict due to compounding and path dependency. It is important to clearly understand the risks of utilizing such leverage. In addition, this product should only be utilized by those who actively manage their investments.
