A quick reminder for anyone who's already forgotten about 2022: that year, the classic 60/40 balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds didn't provide much protection.

The Simplify Hedged Equity ETF has delivered superior risk-adjusted returns since inception versus a traditional 60/40 S&P 500 and short-term Treasury allocation. HEQT distinguishes itself from typical buffer funds, which often underperform due to high fees and inefficient premium payouts. The article highlights empirical research questioning the efficacy of most buffer funds but notes HEQT as a notable exception.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simplify Asset Management announces that it expects to deliver capital gains distributions across ten ETFs.

HEQT offers a compelling hedged equity solution for investors seeking S&P 500 exposure with reduced downside risk and volatility. The fund uses a laddered put/spread collar options strategy, providing protection against 5-20% market declines while maintaining capital appreciation potential. HEQT outperforms the S&P 500 and other hedged ETFs in risk-adjusted returns and has a low expense ratio among peers.

Paisley Nardini, Simplify Asset Management managing director and portfolio manager, and Dave Nadig, financial futurist, join Dom Chu on “ETF Edge” to talk about new investor optimism, ETFs adopting a hedge fund- like strategy and what these funds can do for investors now.

Investors should consider applying hedging techniques to their equity portfolio to reduce overall volatility.

Investors seeking to remain invested in the equity world with downside protection should invest in low-beta ETFs.

HEQT, a collar strategy ETF, delivered a 20% return in the past year but is now rated 'Hold' due to high S&P 500 P/E ratios. Collar funds like HEQT hedge the downside by selling call options and buying put spreads, capturing 60%-80% of the index's upside and minimizing losses during downturns. HEQT's laddered rolling collar strategy outperforms peers like PJAN in up markets but carries a higher risk and reward.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simplify announced today that it expects to deliver capital gains distributions across six Simplify ETFs.
