HEQT: Very Robust 2024, But Equities Are Now Expensive (Rating Downgrade)
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.

HEQT: Extended Markets Warrant A Hedge
HEQT ETF provides conservative investors with equity exposure while limiting downside risks through put-spread collars. The fund has delivered a solid 17% in total returns since October. Although HEQT has underperformed the S&P 500, this is to be expected. With market valuations at extended levels, I believe conservative investors should look at alternatives like HEQT to protect their portfolios against market drawdowns.
