FNGU, FNGA, FNGB Explained
Key Updates
• FNGU ETN will change ticker to FNGA.
• FNGB ETN will launch, offering the same 3x leveraged exposure.
• FNGA ETN will be redeemed on the Call Settlement Date.
• FNGB ETN will be renamed to FNGU after a required NYSE® cooling-off period.
Why is this happening?
• The FNGU ETNs were launched in January 2018 with fees and charges that reflected the then-current market environment. BMO is redeeming the FNGU ETNs because the costs associated with supporting the leverage embedded in the FNGU ETNs have increased and, therefore, the existing fees and charges applicable to the FNGU ETNs no longer reflect the current market environment.
• The FNGB ETNs are meant to replace the FNGU ETNs and provide investors continued access to an exchange traded note with three times leveraged, daily resetting, exposure to the NYSE® FANG+™ Index, but with fees and charges that reflect the current market environment.
