The inverse exchange-traded funds move inversely to the underlying index or asset that they are tracking - allowing investors to benefit from falling asset prices. The ETFs are basing on the short selling mechanism like those used by the futures contracts. There are many different inverse ETFs, some of them focus on specific sectors (real estate, health care or technology) while others focus on market caps. Inverse ETFs are generally intended to provide a return on a daily basis. Investors should use advanced investment strategies in order to benefit from falling prices. It is not necessary to hold a margin account by the investor. These ETFs are actively managed, that is why they tend to have higher expense ratios than standard index ETFs. Investing in the inverse ETFs may be an effective way to hedge portfolios against falling prices. Like any other instrument such ETFs are exposed to risks. Inverse ETFs are designed for investors with at least medium risk-tolerance. Inverse ETFs are generally used for short-term trading opportunities because even moderately volatile markets can drastically change their value during longer periods of time.
