Reverse ETF
In ETF investment, one need to be right when it comes to market forecasts so that they can profit. If the market is moving against investors, their shares would lead to price fall. In inverse ETFs, investors need not open accounts on options trading and/or futures. More often than not, brokerage firms do not allow inexperienced investors to become involved in complicated investment strategies that include options and futures. The creation of ETFs allows inexperienced investors to avoid hazards that often lead them to losing their investment capital.
Inverse ETF has downsides. Since the derivatives of trading include creating leverage, some unwanted situations may arise. For instance, leveraged futures positions are able to fluctuate in price dramatically. Thus, price swings can lead to ineffective markets that result to positions indicating inaccurate prices. More so, investment performance of ETFs may delay performance that is produced by investments in underlying derivates and securities. Moreover, inverse ETF is that it does not relieve investors of the responsibility to create informed decisions when it comes to investment. The investment decision of when to enter or exit markets should be made by sectors and industries based on the level of the investor's portfolio. This entails that investors or their financial advisors would bear such duty. If one buys an inverse etf fund and the market related to their funds rises, he would lose money. Consequently, if the fund is leveraged, investors would experience losses dramatically.
