Tradr 2X Long ASTS Daily ETF

Frequently Asked Questions About ASTX

What does ASTX invest in?

ASTX is a short-term tactical tool that aims to deliver twice (200%) the daily performance of AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS), before fees and expenses. The fund primarily enters into total return swap agreements with major global financial institutions that mirror ASTSs daily returns. In case swaps are unavailable or less efficient, the fund may use FLEX call options or directly hold ASTS stock. Purchasers holding shares for longer than a day will need to monitor and rebalance their position frequently to attempt to achieve the 2x multiple. Purchasers should conduct their own individual stock research prior to initiating a position and trade with conviction. Due to the complexities of the product, shares tend to perform as anticipated only when the underlying shares are trending, and holders are on the positive corresponding side of that trade. The remaining cash is invested in collaterals such as US Treasuries, money market funds, or short-term corporate debt.

What is the expense ratio of ASTX?

Tradr 2X Long ASTS Daily ETF (ASTX) charges an expense ratio of 1.30%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

Is ASTX a good long-term hold?

ASTX is a leveraged fund designed to deliver a daily multiple of its underlying index. Daily reset compounding means returns over multi-day periods can diverge significantly from the headline multiple, typically with negative drift in choppy markets. These funds are designed for short-term tactical use, not buy-and-hold. Review the fund's prospectus before holding more than a few days.

How does ASTX's daily reset work?

ASTX rebalances exposure each trading day to maintain its target leverage ratio against the next day's move. The daily reset means returns compound at the daily level, so a +1%, −1% sequence on the underlying doesn't return the underlying to flat after the leverage multiplier. Over time this path-dependence erodes returns in volatile markets and amplifies them in trending markets.

How big is ASTX?

Tradr 2X Long ASTS Daily ETF (ASTX) manages $137.8M in total assets. AUM determines bid-ask liquidity and the fund's vulnerability to closure. Funds below ~$50M are at higher risk of liquidation.

Is ASTX actively managed or an index fund?
