The BetaShares BBOZ Fund is designed to provide protection from a declining Australian equity market. When the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index falls, BBOZ aims to generate magnified returns for investors.
The BetaShares BBOZ Fund invests in equity index futures contracts to generate unleveraged returns that are negatively correlated S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. In other words, when the ASX 200 rises, BBOZ should fall. When the ASX 200 falls, BBOZ should rise. We believe BBOZ is a high risk ETF to own in a portfolio, and it is expected to perform poorly over long periods of time.
The BetaShares BBOZ Fund could be used by experienced investors to hedge their portfolio against market declines, effectively betting against the Australian stock market. This is a high risk strategy as gains and losses are magnified, compared to a simple ETF tracking the ASX 200 Index. BBOZ is a highly volatile Fund, and there is no guarantee the ETF will provide effective or perfect protection in a falling market.
