Our read on ERY
In short
CA 2008-vintage way to lean against Big Oil: ERY aims for negative 200% of the daily move in the S&P 500's energy sector, shorting the stocks themselves rather than crude futures. Built as a single-day tool.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to negative 200% of the Energy Select Sector Index. It is a leveraged inverse strategy intended for a single day rather than the index’s cumulative return over longer periods.

ERY Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 39.0%

The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.
