Daily Target 2X Long RKLB ETF

Frequently Asked Questions About RKLX

What does RKLX invest in?

The Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RKLB ETF aims to provide daily investment results that are two times (200%) the daily percentage fluctuation in the share price of Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: RKLB). Because this Fund pursues daily leveraged outcomes, it differs significantly from most other exchange-traded funds, and there is no guarantee it will always achieve its stated objective. It is important to note that the Fund is not intended to deliver double the cumulative return of RKLB for timeframes exceeding a single trading day.

What is the expense ratio of RKLX?

Daily Target 2X Long RKLB ETF (RKLX) charges an expense ratio of 1.31%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

Is RKLX a good long-term hold?

RKLX 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 RKLX's daily reset work?

RKLX 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 RKLX?

Daily Target 2X Long RKLB ETF (RKLX) manages $172.4M 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 RKLX actively managed or an index fund?

RKLX's management style is described in the fund's prospectus. See the description on the Summary tab for the published strategy.
