Our take

Inverse
Warning

You can be right and still lose

This fund returns the opposite of its benchmark's daily move, then resets. Hold it longer and the daily compounding takes over: the market can move your way over a week and you still finish down. It works as a one-day hedge and nothing beyond that.
