Rebalancing tool
As outlined in our prospectus, the investment objective of each of the HBP Funds & ETFs is to track two times the daily or inverse daily performance of their respective benchmarks. In order to provide NON recourse leveraged exposure and achieve this investment objective the funds are rebalanced daily.
This process results in the funds being rebalanced at the close of each trading day so that the market exposure for the next day is only two times the then current assets of the fund. If a fund has positive performance on a given day this will result in the market exposure being increased and vice versa. Thus, also resulting in compounding.
If an investor would like to minimize the effects of compounding and have their investment track more closely to 2x/-2x the PERIOD return of the underlying benchmark the investor should rebalance their holdings. More frequent rebalancing will result in period investment returns more closely matching 2x/-2x the benchmark.
The following tools calculate the approximate amount of additional (or reduced) investment required in order for the investor to maintain the equivalent investment ratio as the inception of their investment. Input the required information into the yellow cells only. The rebalancing calculator will determine the necessary rebalance amount required.
This analysis is for illustration purposes only. Exchange Traded Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Rebalancing consideration is more important if volatility in the underlying index or commodity is higher and anticipated hold period is longer. Please read the prospectus before investing.
