QuantShares ETF Bets On Stodgy Stocks

FYI: (Click On Article title At Top Of Google Search)
inancial markets were abuzz late last year with a single catchy acronym—FANG. It stands for a high-profile quartet of 2015’s highest-flying stocks, Facebook, Amazon.com, Netflix, and Alphabet (nee Google). All notched big gains in an otherwise flat market. FANG’s heady ride didn’t last into the New Year, however, and each stock, save Facebook, has declined sharply.

Amid the snapback, one so-called alternative exchange-traded fund has particularly distinguished itself. The name of this small and relatively new ETF is a mouthful, but for opportunists it is worth getting to know. The QuantShares U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta (ticker: BTAL), a long/short fund, has been betting against the likes of Netflix, Alphabet, and Amazon in 2016, profiting from their slides.
