Summary
Realize multiple DAX® performanceWhen lookingto maximize returns on a particular level of risk, or to minimize therisks relating to particular opportunities, investors turn toindex-related financial instruments. In order to track differentrisk/return profiles, systematic investment strategies corresponding tothese various profiles are developed by the capital market. Forinvestors with an appetite for risk, Market Data & Analytics hasdeveloped the LevDAX® Indices. For example: the LevDAX® x4 allowsinvestors to profit from four times the daily performance of the DAX®index. A positive change in the DAX® index is reflected in a four-foldchange in the performance of the LevDAX® x4 and vice versa. The leveragefactor is adjusted on a daily basis to ensure that the LevDAX® x4always achieves four times the performance of the underlying index basedon the closing level of the previous day. All LevDAX® Indiceshave a protective mechanism to prevent a total loss. If an index losesmore than 50 percent at any point during one day, the leverage effectwill be adjusted ad-hoc and the calculation continued based on the DAX®level prior to that time.
