Safe Strategies
by VanTharp
Overall Rating:
Q: Safe Strategies talks about bear mutual funds but recommends not to use the leveraged funds - why should one not use the leveraged funds and presumably can one use ETFs instead of a bear mutual fund?
A: That strategy specifically controlled the maximum exposure that you would have and the amount of risk you would have. If you used a leverage fund, then all the metrics no longer work and the risk is quite large.
