Tradr 1X Short Innovation 100 Monthly ETF

The Tradr 1X Short Innovation 100 Monthly ETF (SMQ) is structured to provide investors with a return that is precisely the inverse (1x) of the monthly performance of the QQQ ETF. QQQ itself tracks the performance of 100 companies listed on the NASDAQ exchange. SMQ primarily executes its strategy by entering into swap agreements with various global financial institutions, where the fund exchanges returns tied to QQQ's movement. Any unallocated cash is strategically invested in conservative, high-quality assets such as U.S. government securities, money market funds, short-term bond ETFs, or top-tier corporate debt. These investments serve as essential collateral for the fund's derivative counterparties. To consistently maintain its 100% inverse exposure, the fund's portfolio undergoes adjustments and rebalancing at the end of each month. However, if QQQ experiences a substantial rise of 35% or more within a given month, SMQ will initiate an early rebalance. This protective measure is designed to limit potential losses, although it may lead to the fund not fully achieving its target inverse return for that specific month.
