CEFD provides monthly 1.5x leveraged exposure to 200 publicly-traded closed-end funds (CEFs) that are yield-focused. CEFs differ from ETFs in that they lack ETF's baked-in creation/redemption plumbing, so CEFS often trade at discounts or premiums since they have no outlet for arbitrage to keep market price in line with fair value. As such, the fund uses a weighting methodology that favors CEFs that trades at discount. CEFs trading at higher discount receives greater weight. CEFD holds three flavors of CEFs domiciled in the US, namely Investment-grade fixed income, high-yield fixed income and equity covered-call strategies. As a geared product, CEFD is designed as a short-term trading tool and not a long-term investment vehicle, so long-term returns could materially differ from those of the underlying index.
