The aim is for the investment to reflect the performance of the FTSE 100 Daily Short Index (Index) which provides the opposite performance of the FTSE 100 Total Return Declared Dividend Index (Underlying Index) on a daily basis plus a rate of interest and minus borrowing costs. This means that the level of the Index should rise when the Underlying Index falls and fall when the Underlying Index rises on a daily basis. The interest rate added to the Index level is based on double the rate at which banks in London lend to each other on an overnight basis (as calculated by the Wholesale Market Brokers’ Association). The Underlying Index reflects the performance of the shares of the largest 100 UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. The companies are selected on the basis that they have the largest combined value of shares as compared to other companies on the stock exchange.
