- GraniteShares ETF Trust - GraniteShares 1x Short AMD Daily ETF (AMDS) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of -1 times (-100%) the daily percentage change of the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD); the fund achieves its inverse exposure primarily through swap agreements with counterparties such as Cowen Financial Products LLC, supplemented by options contracts including deep in-the-money puts, at-the-money puts paired with call sales (synthetic forwards), and FLEX options; cash balances are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, money market funds, short-term bond ETFs, investment-grade corporate debt, repurchase agreements, or select U.S. equities and fixed income securities. Launched on August 21, 2023, and domiciled in the United States, AMDS trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and targets knowledgeable investors seeking short-term trading vehicles for inverse performance to AMD, a semiconductor company focused on data center, client, gaming, and embedded segments.
