“The Black Swan ETFs are simply index ETFs with a hedging component that should provide protection from the kinds of significant declines that keep investors up at night,” Howard Atkinson, President & CEO of Horizons ETFs, said in the press release. “The Black Swan ETF portfolios are designed to provide investors with exposure to the upside potential returns of the underlying stock index while also providing protection from their most serious and sudden declines, so you can invest with crash protection built in.”
“If a Black Swan event were to occur, investors in the Black Swan ETFs have the opportunity to achieve superior compounded growth over the long term, compared to a passive investment in the underlying stock index, by reducing the draw downs of the investment,” Atkinson added.
