The TrueShares Quarterly Bear Hedge ETF is an actively managed fund that aims to provide substantial protection of principal while maintaining the potential to create positive returns in the event of a decline in U.S. equity markets over rolling three-month periods. By combining an investment of substantially all its assets in a portfolio of short-term income-generating debt securities with a modest investment in put options on securities or indexes that are representative of U.S. large capitalization companies, the Fund’s portfolio is expertly positioned to pursue its investment objective. Designed to benefit from meaningful declines in the domestic large cap equity market, the Fund’s investment strategy aims to mitigate equity market risk by limiting it to the purchase price of the put options in the event that they expire worthless. If, however, the value of the large cap equity market falls below the put option’s strike price, the option finishes “in-the-money” and may generate a positive total return.
