Manulife John Hancock Investments Launches New Active Hedged Equity ETF
PRNewswire (Wed, 8-Apr 9:15 AM ET)
The fund will pursue its objective through a combination of high-conviction fundamental equity selection and a dynamic options overlay. The fund invests primarily in U.S. large-capitalization companies, selected through a fundamental, bottom-up research process to construct a high conviction portfolio. The team will utilize a "margin of safety" approach to identify companies that are trading at a discount to their long-term intrinsic value with an attractive business model and a company-specific catalyst(s) to unlock value. The derivatives hedging strategy is intended to balance upside market participation and downside protection by employing a flexible, actively managed options overlay consisting of: Index Put Spreads where staggered maturities of Index put spreads, generally on the S&P 500 Index, to provide downside protection. Utilizing a staggered approach attempts to reduce potential risks with a singular hedge period. The put spread exposure is actively managed based on proprietary signals, technical factors, and market dynamics. In normal market environments, the manager will maintain a stable put spread to provide downside equity market protection.
