"Inverse ETFs appeal to investors looking to profit from declines, but their daily reset mechanism and high fees often make them unsuitable for average long-term investors."
Inverse ETFs offer an appealing way for investors to benefit from market declines without the complexities of short selling. However, their design, featuring a daily reset mechanism and compounded errors, leads to potential value erosion, especially in volatile markets. High costs and a short-term investment focus further complicate their appropriateness for average investors. Although some inverse ETFs like ProShares Short S&P 500 (SH) may serve as strategic hedges amidst market turbulence projected for 2025, caution is advised due to associated risks.
