Our read on TNA
In short
CThree times the Russell 2000's daily move, run by the same fund since November 2008. In a category full of sector bets, this one is a straight leveraged play on US small caps.
Stated mandate

TNA 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.
