Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund's primary investment objective is to pay weekly distributions.
GDXW is an actively managed ETF that invests in total return swap agreements and shares of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) to achieve approximately 1.2x (120%) the calendar week total return of GDX while making weekly distribution payments to shareholders. At least 80% of net assets are invested in swaps referencing GDX and/or GDX shares directly, with the leverage reset at the close of the last business day of each calendar week. The Fund also holds short-term U.S. Treasury securities, Treasury ETFs, and money market funds as collateral. All or a significant portion of weekly distributions are intended to be characterized as return of capital.
