The MicroSectors Oil & Gas Exploration & Production -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN (exchange-traded note) seeks to provide inverse leveraged exposure to the Solactive MicroSectors Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Index, which tracks the performance of US-listed companies in the oil and gas exploration and production sector.
As an inverse leveraged product, OILD aims to provide three times the opposite return of the underlying index, which means that it could generate significant losses in a bull market for the energy sector.
It's important to note that ETNs differ from ETFs in that they are unsecured debt securities issued by a financial institution, and their value is tied to the performance of an underlying index or benchmark. Additionally, the value of an ETN can be influenced by factors such as changes in the issuer's credit rating or the level of interest rates. As such, investors in ETNs should carefully consider the creditworthiness of the issuer and the specific risks associated with the product before investing.
