Darren R. Schuringa, CEO and Scott Clark, Managing Director of Business Development at ASYMmetric ETFs discuss risk management solutions positioned to deliver returns in bear or bull markets.
ASPY is a fully transparent, rules-based, quantitative approach to portfolio risk management that offers protection, optimization, and consistency to investors. ASPY uses a long-short hedging strategy, designed to protect investors from bear market losses while still capturing the majority of bull market gains. “What differentiates ASPY from our competition is that ASPY is designed to make money in bear markets,” says Schuringa.
ASPY acts as a hybrid of stocks and bonds, blending the benefits of both. ASPY delivers bond-like consistency of returns with equity performance. Adding ASPY to an existing portfolio of stocks and bonds will lower risk and improve the performance of the existing portfolio. Thus, the ETF gives investors the ability to stay invested in the market and simultaneously reduce overall portfolio risk.
The ETF is driven by two proprietary, price-based algorithms that look for two things: price movement of the market and a proprietary measure of market volatility or risk. Historically, a simultaneous market breakdown and spike in volatility causes a bear market. So, when ASPY’s proprietary measures recognize these two factors, thus recognizing a bear market, ASPY lowers portfolio exposure to adjust to increasing market risk.
