Hedge a portfolio of ETFs (better than traditional mutual funds) with options.
Published by
THE FACTS
More than 90 million American investors own shares of traditional mutual funds.
Despite professional management, most mutual funds underperform the market on a consistent basis.
Investors want a less risky, more profitable investment choice.
Indexing, or attempting to match the market averages, represents a superior strategy.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have advantages over traditional mutual funds.
Most ETFs operate as index funds.
Many ETFs are optionable (puts and calls are available for hedging).
Adopting a conservative strategy using options reduces risk and enhances returns.
