IWML is a leveraged exchange-traded note (ETN) designed to deliver twice the daily performance of the Russell 2000 index. Given its geared structure, it is inappropriate for long-term holding and should instead be utilized as a short-term tactical trading instrument. The underlying Russell 2000 benchmark primarily tracks small-capitalization companies, but its composition also extends to include mid-cap and a significant number of micro-cap firms, collectively representing approximately 10% of the total market value.
