IWDL

IWDL is an Exchange Traded Note (ETN) designed to provide investors with double the leveraged exposure to the value segment within the US large-cap equity market. Its performance is tied to the total return variant of the Russell 1000 Value index, which is composed of firms characterized by lower price-to-book ratios and more modest growth projections. This instrument recalibrates its leverage quarterly. Importantly, as a leveraged product, IWDL is not suited for long-term holding; its intended leveraged returns are typically consistent only over a single day. Furthermore, given its structure as an ETN, investors also bear the credit risk associated with its issuer, UBS.
