Vest 10 Year Interest Rate Hedge ETF(AMEX:RYSE)

RYSE aims to generate capital appreciation from rising 10-year interest rates by investing in interest rate swaptions to create downside limits to losses and upside caps to gains. The 10-year rate broadly measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight that are collateralized by Treasury securities compounded over 10 years. As the fund anticipates losses when the 10-year rate falls, the fund buys and sells swaptions every quarter to create the downside limits to losses. The fund hedges against increases by investing in various derivatives (e.g., futures, options, interest rate swaps, and swaptions). It may also take long positions in interest rate swaps to benefit from rising interest rates. As collateral for its derivatives transactions, the fund may also invest in ETFs that invest in US T-bills or option contracts. Additionally, the fund takes long /short positions in interest rate payer or receiver swaptions. The fund aims to hold swaptions maturing in three months for more predictable returns. The fund seeks to limit losses of up to 15% over a quarter with the potential upside capped between 15-35%. Through these positions, the fund may forego some upside potential. There is no assurance that the fund will succeed in limiting losses. Prior to January 02, 2023 the fund was called Cboe Vest 10 Year Interest Rate Hedge ETF.
