BTAL in Focus

The underlying Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Anti-Beta Index is a long/short market neutral index that is dollar-neutral. The fund charges 75 bps in fees (see all Long-Short ETFs here).

Why the Move?

Since markets have been volatile lately and there has been a bloodbath in the global market owing mainly to rising rate worries and concerns about waning global growth, this defensive ETF has gained strength.
