- Defiance Daily Target 2X Long PURR ETF (PUR) is a defined outcome exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to two times the daily performance of the PURR Bloomberg Defiance Daily Target 2X Long PURR Index. The fund is managed by Defiance ETFs, an investment management firm that specializes in thematic, innovative, and rules-based ETFs and other indexed strategies. The fund employs a daily leveraged strategy, aiming to magnify the PURR index’s daily movements, which translates into amplified exposure to defined daily targets within broad market and specialized segments.
