Australian Equities Bear Complex ETF

About this ETF

BEAR seeks to generate returns that are negatively correlated to the returns of the Australian sharemarket. The Fund expects to generate a positive return when the S&P/ASX Accumulation 200 Index falls on a given day (and a negative return when the index rises on a given day).

⚠ Short fund — higher risk

This is a short/inverse fund. It's designed to rise when its underlying market falls (and fall when it rises), typically using derivatives reset daily — returns over periods longer than a single day can differ substantially from the simple inverse of the underlying market's return. Intended for short-term tactical use, not long-term holding.
