ETRACS 2x Leveraged Factor ETN Toolkit
Welcome to the UBS ETRACS 2x Leveraged Factor ETNs page, highlighting the full toolkit of leveraged factor ETRACS ETNs available to investors.
Each Factor ETN provides two times leveraged long exposure to the compounded quarterly performance of the applicable underlying total return index, less financing costs and tracking fees. An investment in the ETNs is subject to a number of risks, including the risk of loss of all of the investor's principal, and is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS AG. The ETNs do not pay any coupon or guarantee any return. We urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks described in the prospectus and applicable prospectus supplement for the ETRACS ETN that you are interested in.

[1] The ETN does not pay any coupons. The ETN tracks a total return Index which treats distributions on its constituent securities as if they were reinvested.
[2] If the Intraday Index Value has decreased by 20% or more from the Closing Index Level on the most recent Reset Valuation Date, a Loss Rebalancing Event will occur and the leverage will be reset to approximately 2.0x. Reset Valuation Dates generally occur quarterly and upon any Loss Rebalancing Event.
[3] If at any time the Intraday Index Value has decreased by 40% or more from the Closing Index Level on the most recent Reset Valuation Date, and the leverage has not yet been reset to 2.0x after the preceding Loss Rebalancing Event, a Permanent Deleveraging Event will occur and the leverage will be permanently reset to 1.0x over two Index Business Days.
[4] If at any time the Closing Indicative Value or the Current Indicative Value is less than or equal to zero, a Zero Value Event will occur and the Closing Indicative Value and the Current Indicative Value will be permanently reset to zero. A Zero Value Event cannot occur if the leverage has already been permanently reset to 1.0x as the result of a Permanent Deleveraging Event.
UBS ETRACS Exchange Traded Notes are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities that are designed to track the returns of a specific market index, less investor fees. For more information about each ETRACS ETN please visit the respective product detail page, and review the prospectus and applicable prospectus supplement.
The ETNs are intended to be trading tools for sophisticated investors as part of an overall diversified portfolio. They are designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a quarterly, or in certain circumstances, shorter basis. Their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from their stated objectives. The ETNs are riskier than securities that have intermediate or long-term investment objectives, and may not be suitable for investors who have a “buy and hold” strategy. Accordingly, the ETNs should be purchased only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of investing in an Index and of seeking quarterly compounding leveraged long investment results. Investors should actively and continuously monitor their investments in the ETNs, even intra-day. It is possible that you will suffer significant losses in the ETNs even if the long-term performance of the applicable Index is positive.
