About RYJSX
The Japan 2x Strategy Fund Class A is a leveraged mutual fund designed to provide investment results that correspond to 200% of the daily performance of the Nikkei 225 Stock Average, a key benchmark tracking major Japanese equities. By utilizing financial derivatives and other instruments, the fund seeks to amplify exposure to the movements of the underlying Japanese market index, rebalancing daily to maintain its targeted leverage. This approach allows investors to gain magnified access to the Japanese equity market without directly employing margin or leverage themselves. The fund’s portfolio typically consists of positions in index futures, currency futures, and significant allocations to cash and equivalents for collateral purposes. Managed by Security Investors, LLC, the fund plays a distinct role in the market by catering to traders and sophisticated investors aiming for short-term, amplified returns tied to Japanese stocks. Launched in 2008, the fund falls within the trading—leveraged equity category and is characterized by higher expense ratios and potentially greater volatility compared to traditional unleveraged equity funds.
Performance
