Bank of Montreal - MicroSectors 3x Long Semiconductor ETNs

SMHU is a short-term trading tool, not buy-and-hold investment. The product is structured as an exchange traded note, which is an unsecured debt obligation of the issuing bank, thus introducing credit risk to traders of the shares. SMHU aims to provide 3x the daily closing price of the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), an ETF tracking a concentrated index of 25 largest semiconductor stocks, globally. The leverage of the note resets daily, so returns over any period longer than one day will differ from three times the return of SMH and losses compound. In a flat or choppy market, SMHU can produce losses due to the daily reset.
