Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares Company profile
JNUG provides geared exposure (2x) to the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index—a market-cap-weighted index of global gold mining companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from gold or silver mining activities. The index caps exposure to silver mining firms at 20% during each quarterly review. The term "junior" refers to the size of these firms, which are considered to be small-caps as defined by the index provider, which slightly dilutes its exposure to gold relative to our benchmark for gold. Like most leveraged products (including sister fund JDST, which provides -2x exposure to the same index), JNUG's exposure is reset daily. The fund is therefore designed to be used as a tactical trading tool. You must regularly reset your exposure to get the multiple if you hold the fund for more than a day. Tradability is paramount for a tactical tool—which a 2x play on gold surely is. JNUG trades in robust volumes each day, but its spreads can be significant. The fund charges a high fee, which may not be much of an issue for most investors, who won't be holding onto JNUG for long.Effective 4/24/2017, JNUG resumes daily creations.Latest shares articles
