Investment Strategy

The investment seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The fund's current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the "underlying index"). It will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the underlying index. The index is a price-weighted index of 30 "blue chip" U.S. stocks, which generally represent large-capitalization companies. It is non-diversified.
