HDGE Profile
The AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF is designed to offer investors a strategy for capitalizing on declines in U.S. equity markets. The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by engaging in short selling, targeting a diverse portfolio of liquid mid- and large-cap U.S. equity securities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and other exchange-traded products (ETPs). This approach enables the fund to benefit from falling stock prices, positioning it as a tool for hedging or speculating on market downturns.
Under normal market conditions, the fund commits at least 80% of its net assets, including any investment borrowings, to short positions in equity securities. By taking short positions, the fund aims to profit from a decline in the value of these securities. This strategy involves borrowing securities to sell them with the intention of buying them back at a lower price, thereby generating returns from the decline in their value.
The Sub-Advisor employs a rigorous bottom-up, fundamental research-driven approach to select securities for short selling. This process involves detailed analysis of individual companies and their financial health, market conditions, and potential risks. The goal is to identify equities that are expected to underperform relative to the broader market or to other stocks within the same sector.
Managed by AdvisorShares, the Ranger Equity Bear ETF benefits from the firm's expertise in active management and its focus on innovative investment strategies. The fund provides a sophisticated tool for investors looking to hedge against market declines or to profit from anticipated downturns in U.S. equities. Its strategy and research-driven approach aim to offer a distinctive and dynamic investment opportunity within the broader ETF landscape.
