The Credit Suisse X-Links Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged Mortgage REIT ETN (REML) is designed to provide investors with a monthly compounded return that is double the price performance of its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT All Mortgage Capped Index. This underlying index monitors the collective performance of specific U.S. Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). To be included, these Mortgage REITs must meet U.S. tax qualification standards, allocate over 50% of their total assets to mortgage loans or real property-backed mortgage securities, and be publicly listed on exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca, or the NASDAQ National Market List.
