Vienna, VA (PRWEB) March 27, 2008 -- FOLIOfn Investments, Inc. (www.foliofn.com), the innovative online brokerage firm and provider of investment products, launched three Bear Market Folios, which are designed to increase in value as the broad market declines (and vice-versa). The Folios are comprised of a variety of inverse mutual funds and ETFs.
No portfolio will perform well in all markets. However, for every 1% decline in the broad market's value, the Bear Market 1X Folio is designed to gain about 1% in value; the Bear Market 1.5X Folio is designed to gain about 1.5%; and the Bear Market 2X Folio is designed to gain about 2% in value. Because these Folios are designed to go up as the market goes down, they are also expected to go down as the market goes up. Thus, if the market goes up 1%, the Bear Market 1X Folio will likely lose 1% in value, the Bear Market 1.5X will lose 1.5%; and the Bear Market 2X will lose 2%.
Investors can use these Folios to be in the market when they believe the broad markets are likely to decline. These Folios could also be used by investors as a short-term hedge in cases where an investor's other assets are exposed to the moves of the broader market.
A white paper discussing the theory and construction of FOLIOfn's Bear Market Folios--written in an easy-to-understand and informative way--can be found at FOLIOfn's website.
