CLSS Investment Objective and Strategy
Defiance Daily Target 2X Short CLSK ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Tidal Trust II.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks daily inverse investment results, before fees and expenses, of -2 times (-200%) the daily percentage change in the share price of CleanSpark, Inc. ( Nasdaq : CLSK). The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period other than a single trading day.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund that attempts to achieve 2 times the inverse (-200%) of the daily percentage change in the price of the Underlying Security by employing derivatives, namely swap agreements and/or listed options contracts. The Fund aims to generate 2 times the inverse of the daily performance of the Underlying Security for a single day, and not for any other period. A single day is defined as being calculated from the close of regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day. The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act. If the Fund encounters limitations in implementing its strategies, whether due to market conditions, derivative availability, counterparty issues, or other factors, the Fund may not achieve investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to 2 times the inverse (-2x) the daily performance of the Underlying Security, and may return substantially less during such periods.
During such periods, the Funds actual leverage levels may differ substantially from its intended target, both intraday and at the close of trading, potentially resulting in significantly lower returns. The Fund may enter into swap agreements as a substitute for directly shorting the Underlying Security. The Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with major financial institutions for a specified period ranging from one day to more than one year whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on the Underlying Security. The gross return (meaning the return before deducting any fees or expenses) to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated with respect to a notional amount, (meaning the face amount of the instrument) e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount representing the Underlying Security.
At the end of each day, the Funds swaps are valued using market valuations and the Funds investment adviser rebalances the Funds holdings in an attempt to maintain short exposure for the Fund equal to -200% of the Underlying Security. The Fund may also utilize listed options to seek to achieve leveraged -2X exposure to the Underlying Security. The Fund will primarily employ short-dated (a month or less) in-the-money call options (options with strike prices below the current market price of the Underlying Security, offering immediate intrinsic value). Additionally, the Fund may use other option strategies to produce similar exposure to the Underlying Security, like buying calls and selling puts with identical strike prices. These options allow the Fund to adjust its leverage strategy in response to market conditions, liquidity constraints, or other factors that may affect the availability or pricing of swap agreements.
The use of listed options provides additional flexibility in pursuing the Funds daily investment objective. In situations where swap availability is constrained, the Fund may rely more heavily on options contracts. Additionally, the Fund may use options in response to changing market dynamics. However, the use of option contracts is typically less efficient than swaps and may increase the likelihood that the Fund is unable to achieve its daily -2X objective. For examples of a hypothetical investment in the Fund, see Additional Information About the Fund Principal Investment Strategies below. Fund performance for periods greater than one single day is primarily (but not solely) a function of the following factors: a) the Underlying Security volatility; b) the Underlying Security performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; and e) other Fund expenses.
The Fund may invest in (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; (3) short term bond ETFs; and/or (4) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of comparable quality as determined by the investment adviser as collateral for the Funds derivative positions. The Fund has adopted a policy to have at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should provide 2 times the inverse exposure to the daily performance of the Underlying Security. For purposes of the 80% policy, derivatives will be valued at notional value. The Fund is expected to allocate between 40% and 75% of its assets as collateral for swap agreements or as premiums for purchased options contracts.
Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each days return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each days returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from -200% of the return of the Underlying Security over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the Underlying Securitys performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the Underlying Security volatility and the effects of compounding, the Fund may lose money over time while the Underlying Securitys performance decreases over a period longer than a single day. As a consequence, investors should not plan to hold shares of a Fund unmonitored for periods longer than a single trading day.
