BRAZIL
EXCHANGE TRADED NOTES
The MicroSectors™ Brazil lineup of exchange traded notes provides 3x long exposure and -3x short exposure to the daily share price performance of EWZ, the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF. Daily-resetting trading tools built for sophisticated investors.
TWO WAYS TO TRADE BRAZIL
Long or short, at 3x. Each ETN seeks a daily return of 3x, or -3x, the daily share price performance of EWZ, the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, before fees and expenses, resetting each trading day.
WHAT IS EWZ?
Seeks 3x the daily share price performance of EWZ
Seeks -3x the daily share price performance of EWZ
Leverage resets each trading day; multi-day returns differ from the stated multiple
EWZ, the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, is the most widely traded US-listed vehicle for Brazilian equities and one of the most active emerging market funds in the world. It seeks to track the MSCI Brazil 25/50 Index, a rules-based benchmark of large- and mid-cap Brazilian companies weighted by float-adjusted market cap with 25/50 concentration constraints, spanning commodities and energy producers, financials, and consumer names.
Because EWZ concentrates that market into a single US-listed instrument trading in US hours, its daily share price has become the standard intraday expression of Brazil exposure for US traders. The ETNs on this page reference that daily share price directly: 3x long or -3x short, resetting each trading day.
KNOW THE STRUCTURE
Both ETNs are designed as short-term trading tools, not buy-and-hold investments. Leverage resets daily, so returns over any period longer than one day will differ from three times, or three times the inverse of, the return of EWZ, and losses compound the same way gains do. A flat or choppy market can produce losses due to the daily reset. Because the reference asset is an ETF, the ETNs’ returns also reflect EWZ’s own fees and any tracking difference against its underlying index. The notes reference the closing market price of EWZ rather than its net asset value, so any premium or discount in the ETF passes through as well. Investors can lose their entire investment. The ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of Bank of Montreal and do not hold underlying assets, so repayment depends on the creditworthiness of the issuer.
The inverse note carries risks the long note does not. The -3x note is designed to lose value when EWZ rises, and because the exposure resets each day, a sustained rally compounds against the position. A single-day increase of approximately 33% in EWZ would reduce the value of the note to zero, and investors would lose their entire investment.
