The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, recognize the risks associated with the use of leverage, and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is intended for short-term trading and is not appropriate for buy-and-hold investors. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund may lose money if the Underlying Security's performance is flat, and it is possible the Fund will lose money even if the Underlying Security's performance increases. The effects of compounding and market volatility mean returns over periods longer than one day will very likely differ from, and may be significantly lower than, 200% of the return of the Underlying Security over the same period. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.
