SMHB

SMHB is a leveraged take on dividend-paying US small-caps. The ETN's underlying index selects from the 2000 smallest companies on the list of the 3000 largest US stocks. From this pool, 100 small-caps with the highest estimated 12-month forward dividend yield are selected. Holdings are weighted by 3-month average daily dollar volume, with a single security cap of 5%. SMHB applies a 2x leverage factor to this index, reset monthly. This infrequent reset period makes the note suitable for longer holdings periods than a daily-reset product, though investors will still feel the effects of compounding over time. The note pays a monthly coupon equal to twice the yield of the underlying index. SMHB is a replacement ("Series B”) for sibling SMHD, which was still trading but closed for creations as of the note's launch. Among several minor differences, SMHB includes a feature where the note's leverage will reset if the underlying index falls by 20% from the previous month, including intraday.
