BIS is one available fund that provides exposure to the biotech space aiming for daily geared inverse (-2x) exposure to the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (comprised of companies that are classified as either biotechnology or pharmaceutical). The fund expects to typically hold derivatives and money market instruments. Note: BIS is a tactical tool, it is not a buy-and-hold investment and should not be expected to provide index leverage returns greater than a one-day period.
