Defiance Daily Target 2X Long QS ETF is an actively managed ETF that uses derivatives to seek twice the daily percentage change of QuantumScape stock; it is designed to amplify single-day price movements rather than track performance over longer periods, making it a non-diversified, leveraged instrument. The fund carries an expense ratio of 1.32% and does not make regular distributions. This ETF appeals to tactical traders seeking short-term leveraged exposure to QuantumScape, not to buy-and-hold or income-focused investors.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (the posted rate) uses calculation basis unavailable. Issuer rates can use a different denominator and date, including ex-date NAV. Trailing-12-month yield is the sum of split-adjusted cash distributions with ex-dates in the last 12 months, divided by the published price. It lags a recent raise or cut. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss.
