Q&A With Brad Lamensdorf: Making Money With Contrarian ETFs
FYI: Brad Lamensdorf is a hedge fund guy. He invests with an absolute-return sensibility, looking for gains with a keen eye on downside protection. The two ETFs he’s involved with—and the firm he’s created, Active Alts—have a contrarian flavor, looking at stocks that are heavily shorted or out of favor. These aren’t your vanilla ETFs; rather, they are hedge-fundlike active alternatives that offer investors a different way to approach the market. Lamensdorf tells us why the AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF (HDGE) and the Active Alts Contrarian ETF (SQZZ) are worth a look.
