An exchange-traded note, not an ETF: a debt security that aims for three times the daily return of a stock basket called MANGOS+ ex Private Companies, carrying the issuer's credit risk. Because it resets daily, longer-term returns can differ a lot from three times.
MNGU, the MicroSectors 3x Long MANGOS+ ex Private Companies ETNs, is a $32 million ETF whose main story is the AI compute core.

Total return on the market price, with each distribution reinvested on its ex-date. Not the NAV return the issuer publishes; the two differ when the ETF trades above or below the value of its holdings. The narrative is the asset-weighted return of the unlevered ETFs that carry it. The market is the asset-weighted return of broad US index ETFs. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
