Growing Popularity of Inverse ETFs Among Individual Investors
Inverse ETFs are gaining significant traction among individual investors. This trend emerges amidst increasing stock market volatility and economic uncertainty, positioning inverse ETFs as a strategy to hedge against potential market downturns. In particular, the 'KODEX 200 Futures Inverse' ETF has risen to the top rank in terms of net purchases by individual investors.
Nevertheless, experts caution that investing in inverse ETFs entails substantial risk, with calls for careful decision-making. Recent studies suggest that some male investors have experienced below-average returns with inverse ETFs, highlighting the potential risks involved. This may be due to the fact that inverse ETFs can be beneficial for short-term market declines but are not designed for long-term performance expectations.
