The Leverage Shares 3x AMD ETP Securities (3AMD) is an exchange-traded product issued by Leverage Shares and traded in British pounds on the London Stock Exchange. It provides leveraged exposure to Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares.
The ETP seeks to track the iSTOXX Leveraged 3x AMD Index, which is designed to provide three times the daily performance of AMD shares, before management fees, financing costs, and other applicable charges.
3AMD uses daily leverage, meaning its exposure is reset each trading day to target the 3x multiple. As a result, the product's performance over periods longer than one day will not necessarily equal three times AMD's cumulative return over the same period.
This difference primarily results from daily compounding, rebalancing, financing costs, and the sequence of gains and losses in the underlying stock. During periods of high volatility, these factors can create significant differences between 3AMD's cumulative return and three times AMD's cumulative return.
Composition / Exposure Profile
3AMD does not provide diversification across multiple companies. Its economic exposure is concentrated in:
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
The technology sector.
The semiconductor industry.
The U.S. equity market.
3x daily leveraged exposure.
Because the product is linked to a single stock and uses leverage, its price movements can be significantly larger than those of AMD itself. A daily decline in the underlying stock will generally result in a loss of approximately three times that move in the ETP before fees, financing costs, and other structural effects.
In addition to risks specific to AMD and the semiconductor industry, the product is exposed to risks associated with leverage and daily rebalancing. The greater the volatility and the longer the holding period, the larger the potential difference between the ETP's cumulative return and three times the stock's cumulative return.
Structure and Costs
3AMD is an ETP structured as a debt security, rather than an ETF or UCITS fund. The securities trade on the London Stock Exchange and use a physically backed structure designed to provide the exposure specified by the underlying index.
The product charges a 0.75% annual management fee, in addition to financing costs associated with maintaining its leveraged exposure. These costs affect the ETP's performance over time.
3AMD trades in British pounds on the London Stock Exchange, while its base currency is the U.S. dollar. The trading currency does not change the underlying economic exposure to AMD shares.
Because 3AMD is a structured security rather than a traditional fund share class, the accumulating and distributing classifications commonly used for UCITS ETFs do not apply.
