The NEOS Gold High Income ETF (IAUI) (IAUI) is an exchange-traded fund designed to deliver two times leveraged (+2x) the daily performance of a thematic index tied to artificial intelligence and big data sectors. The ETF is managed by Neos and trades under the ticker IAUI on NYSE Arca.
Classified as a leveraged thematic ETF, IAUI seeks to reflect, before fees and expenses, +200% of the daily return of its benchmark index.
The fund uses financial derivatives, including swaps, futures contracts, and other synthetic instruments, rather than directly holding all underlying benchmark securities.
The strategy resets leverage exposure on a daily basis. As a result, cumulative returns over periods longer than one day may differ significantly from the +2x target due to compounding effects and market volatility.
The fund’s methodology is associated with short-term tactical strategies and directional exposure to the artificial intelligence and data-analysis segment.
