Let’s take a look at the fund and its near-term outlook to gain an insight into where it might be headed:
TAIL in Focus
The fund seeks to mitigate significant downside market risk. The fund intends to invest in a portfolio of "out of the money" put options purchased on the U.S. stock market. It charges 59 bps in fees and has an AUM of $87.1 million.
