The RBS NASDAQ 100 Trendpilot ETN (TNDQ) is linked to a systematic trend-following strategy. The methodology tracks the NASDAQ 100 Index when above its 100-day moving average and provides Treasury Bill returns when the NASDAQ 100 Index is below its 100-day moving average.<\/p>\n

During a negative trend, TNDQ will track the performance of 3-month U.S. Treasury bills minus an investor fee of 0.50%.<\/p>\n
