The Best Investment Strategy for a Market Like This

By Alexander Green

PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio (NYSE: PBP).

This exchange-traded fund writes calls against the stocks that make up the S&P 500. Over the past year, the fund has delivered a total return about 6% better than the flat index.

True, the fund fell 28% in 2008, but that was eight points less than the broad market.

In other words, you can expect the fund to do better than the S&P 500 in years that the market is largely flat or down. But it will lag in big up years because – remember – the best-performing stocks within the fund will be called away.

In short, this is not a good strategy for a young or rip-roaring bull market. But in a late-stage bull market like this one, it can deliver higher returns with a lower level of risk.

Samsung to debut first L&I ETFs in Hong Kong

By Hui Ching-hoo

Hong Kong has jumped onto the leveraged and inverse exchange-traded fund (L&I ETF) bandwagon with the launch of the city’s first L&I ETFs on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx) by Samsung Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (Samsung), scheduled for Monday, June 13.

Samsung will list four L&I ETFs – namely
1. Samsung KOSPI 200 Daily (2X) Leveraged Product,
2. Samsung KOSPI 200 Daily (-1X) Inverse Product,
3. Samsung TOPIX Daily (2X) Leveraged Product, and
4, Samsung TOPIX Daily (-1X) Inverse Product – on the main board of the HKEx.

Peter Lee, director and head of global strategy for the ETF and index investment division at Samsung, tells Asia Asset Management that its parent group is the frontrunner on exotic ETFs: “We opened the door [to exotic ETFs] five to six years ago and since then, many of our counterparts have followed suit to release similar ETFs. However, we managed to stave off the market competition with our expertise and experience.”

Samsung Asset Management – an affiliate of the Samsung Group – is currently the largest ETF provider in South Korea with around US$9.45 billion in ETF AUM as of February 2016, which represents more than 50% of the local market share, according to the Financial Times.

In February, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission released a guideline setting out the requirements for L&I ETF products, whereby the introduction of L&I ETFs would be carried out in two phases.

In the initial stage, the regulatory watchdog will only accept applications for L&I products tracking broadly-based non-Hong Kong and non-Mainland foreign equity indices, extending the spectrum of products to broadly-based Hong Kong equity indices in the second phase.

Mr. Lee says Samsung will be participating in both stages, and expects the underlying market exposure to exotic ETFs to significantly diversify, moving forward.

Other Hong Kong-based ETF providers such as CSOP Asset Management Limited and Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) are understood to also be looking to delve into the L&I ETF market.

Are ETFs Liquid Enough for a Bear Market Exodus?

By Mark P. Cussen, CFP®, CMFC, AFC

If even one of the underlying securities in the ETF portfolio becomes illiquid, then it could severely affect the fund price.


On Aug. 24, 2015, trading was halted in eight of the stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. This freeze triggered stoppages in over 40% of all U.S. equity ETFs. And on that same day, 20% of all U.S. equity ETFs had price movements of at least 20%, compared to less than 5% of stocks.


When the next bear market arrives, the institutional players will be able to get onto the sidelines immediately, but the average Joe investor may get squeezed on the spread between the public offering price and NAV.

Many clients got burned on this on Aug. 24, and some financial advisors who thought their clients were protected with stop-loss orders on their ETFs saw them take huge losses.
