AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund

BTAL is an actively managed fund that takes long positions in low beta US stocks, offset by short positions in high beta US stocks.

For investors seeking momentum, AGFiQ US Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund BTAL is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high of $21.39 from its 52-week low price of $16.59/share.

After a sturdy run so far this year, Wall Street started to waver in mid-March, following the release of hot U.S. inflation data and the rise in bond yields.

5 Low-Risk ETFs to Play Now as Inflation Ticks Up

The AGF U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund has historically provided diversification benefits by performing well when the broader equity market is down. Despite its expected flat-to-negative annual return, BTAL has rallied in 2024, potentially due to investors seeking defensive low-beta stocks. Owning BTAL as part of a portfolio can (and likely will, in my opinion) provide superior risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

Overstretched valuations and uncertainty around when the Fed will begin to cut rates have dampened investors' optimism. Investors are increasingly exploring diversified strategies that help to protect their portfolios from downside risk.

Low-Risk ETFs to Consider Amid the Market Turmoil

BTAL is a hedging exchange-traded fund that takes a market-neutral stance by shorting high beta names and going long low beta equities. The fund makes money when the market is in a risk-off mode and participants sell out of speculative high beta names. BTAL tends to have more muted negative returns compared to inverse funds like SH and can even be flat during years when the market is up.
