MicroSectors FANG+ 3 Leveraged ETNs

Frequently Asked Questions About FNGU

What does FNGU invest in?

The MicroSectors FANG+ 3x Leveraged ETN, trading as FNGU, delivers three times (3x) magnified exposure to an index comprising leading technology and growth companies. This benchmark prominently features the core "FANG" stocks: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. While these five are generally expected to be constant inclusions, an independent index committee selects additional, comparable firms to complete the portfolio. The index mandates a minimum of ten constituent stocks, which was its initial composition, resulting in a highly concentrated allocation where all underlying holdings are equally weighted. Given its leveraged structure and daily resetting of exposure, FNGU is specifically engineered as a short-term trading instrument rather than a suitable long-term investment vehicle. Investors should be aware that daily compounding effects can cause the ETN's long-term returns to diverge significantly from those of its underlying benchmark. Before June 24, 2025, this product is listed under the ticker FNGB.

What is the expense ratio of FNGU?

MicroSectors FANG+ 3 Leveraged ETNs (FNGU) charges an expense ratio of 2.60%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

Is FNGU a good long-term hold?

FNGU 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 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 FNGU's daily reset work?

FNGU 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.
