L&G FTSE 100 Super Short Strategy (Daily 2x) UCITS ETF

The L&G FTSE 100 Super Short Strategy (Daily 2x) UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide daily leveraged inverse exposure to the FTSE 100 index, the benchmark for the UK's largest 100 blue-chip companies by market capitalization. Launched in June 2009 and domiciled in Ireland, this ETF aims to deliver twice the opposite daily performance of the FTSE 100 Daily Super Short Strategy Net Total Return Index before fees, using synthetic replication through swaps. With assets under management around 14-28 million euros or pounds, it employs a passive management style and an accumulating distribution policy, reinvesting any dividends to support share price growth. The fund's total expense ratio stands at 0.60% per annum, reflecting ongoing operational costs deducted continuously from assets. Primarily holding cash and bonds with swap overlays for exposure, it targets investors seeking short strategies on UK large-cap equities across sectors like finance, energy, and consumer goods. As a UCITS-compliant product issued by Legal & General Investment Management, it plays a niche role in derivatives markets, enabling tactical hedging and speculation against FTSE 100 movements amid broader equity volatility.
