Does Hedgeable use the inverse or levered ETFs that I keep hearing about in the news in the portfolios they build?
Hedgeable does not use these funds currently in our Portfolio Builder. However, in the future we may use inverse and/or levered ETFs for select clients who meet our sophistication and investing experience guidelines. Using these ETFs as part of an investment strategy can greatly reduce risk in a portfolio, but they are not for everyone, due to their inherently larger risks. FINRA recently advised all firms about the risks of using levered or inverse ETFs for their clients. This has caused many brokers to take these ETFs off their platforms. At Hedgeable we take this advice very seriously. We continually will monitor the situation, to weigh the risks versus the potential rewards for the sophisticated investors who use our site.
