In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Kieran Kirwan, Director, Investment Strategy at ProShares, about retail disruption ETFs.
Major indexes recorded their best month in decades, on rising hopes for a coronavirus treatment and a partial reopening of the economy. But there are clear winners and losers in this market.
One area that has done quite well is e-commerce, as millions of consumers stuck at home shop online for all their needs. Online-retailing giant Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) is one of the biggest winners of the trend.
While the market share of online sales has been rising in the past few years, the trend has accelerated amid coronavirus crisis. And we may see a permanent shift in consumer behavior toward online shopping even after the health crisis is over.
As online sales are growing, brick and mortar stores are witnessing declining sales. The ProShares Long Online/Short Stores ETF (CLIX - Free Report) provides long exposure to online retailers and short exposure to traditional brick and mortar retailers. It has gained about 31% this year.
The ProShares Decline of the Retail Store ETF (EMTY - Free Report) provides inverse exposure to bricks-and-mortar retailers. ONLN and EMTY are up about 16% year-to-date. Tune into the podcast to learn more about these ETFs.
ProShares is a leader in inverse, leveraged and volatility ETFs. How should these products be used during volatile times?
