The CSEX ETF is an actively managed leveraged ETF built around the daily price changes of Celestica common stock. Rather than replicating long-term cumulative performance, the product focuses on managing directional exposure for a single trading day.

It suits investors who hold a clear short-term view on the underlying stock and understand the risks of daily price swings and leverage.

The ETF is managed by Tradr using an active management approach.

Management focuses on building exposure that tracks the daily movement of Celestica common stock. Derivatives and similar instruments may be used for this purpose, and because target exposure is reset every day the market is open, long-term cumulative performance can differ from the simple cumulative performance of the underlying stock.

• A leveraged structure focused on the daily movement of a single stock
• Management that emphasizes same-day exposure over long-term cumulative performance

Assets under management (AUM) stand at $7.7M, and the total expense ratio is 1.30% per year.

Trading conditions for the CSEX ETF are influenced by liquidity in its listing market and by participant demand. The more often you trade in the short term, the more trading costs beyond the fund's fees can accumulate, so it is worth thinking through your trading approach and holding plan together.

The return profile of the CSEX ETF is affected both by the daily price changes of the underlying stock and by the costs of running its derivatives. Because the daily target can diverge from cumulative returns, you need to consider your directional view and your holding period together.

Fund flows into single-stock leveraged products can be sensitive to news about the underlying stock and to market volatility. Investors seeking a long-term core holding and those wanting short-term directional exposure may judge this product by different standards.

The ETF is defined by daily leveraged exposure focused on the direction of the underlying stock, but the path dependence of cumulative performance and high volatility are clear limitations.

Among the comparison products shown in the table, the TQQQ ETF offers Nasdaq-related exposure, the QLD ETF also offers Nasdaq-related exposure, and the SOXL ETF covers the semiconductor industry. The SSO ETF provides exposure to a US large-cap index, and the SPXL ETF provides leveraged large-cap exposure. When comparing them with the CSEX ETF, you should look not only at differences in fees and asset size but also at the concentration of the underlying assets, the daily target, and the holding period.

When evaluating the CSEX ETF, first understand that the direction of the underlying stock and the product's cumulative performance may not follow the same path. Trading costs, volatility, and holding period need to be reviewed against the same standard.

Because the CSEX ETF is a daily leveraged structure that magnifies the movement of a single stock, gains and losses can swing widely during periods of large price changes. Performance over multiple trading days can deviate from the daily target, and company-specific factors in the underlying stock as well as derivatives-related risks should also be considered.

The CSEX ETF is a product that investors with a clear view on Celestica's short-term direction can consider when managing daily exposure. Rather than treating it like a long-term core holding, it is more appropriate to use it after setting your holding period, loss tolerance, and trading costs in advance.
