The Issuer hereby gives notice of certain upcoming modifications to the Investment Strategies of the Relevant Series, as further detailed below.
The current objective of each of the Relevant Series is to provide the Leveraged Exposure or Short Exposure, as determined by the applicable Leverage Factor, to the applicable Reference Asset. The current Reference Asset for each Series is as set out in the table below (the "Current Reference Asset").
For the Series which provide for a Leveraged Exposure, leverage is achieved by borrowing from the Margin Loan Provider. For the Series which provide for a Short Exposure, the Issuer will take a short position by borrowing the Reference Asset of the Series from the Margin Loan Provider.
The Investment Strategy of each Relevant Series will be amended to include an additional Reference Asset, as outlined in the table below (the "Additional Reference Asset"). The new investment objective of each Relevant Series will be to provide the Leveraged Exposure or Short Exposure, as applicable, to either the Current Reference Asset or the Additional Reference Asset, or a combination of both. The Reference Asset of each Relevant Series will be confirmed on the Issuer's website.
