The historical risk attributes of the mutual fund so far match my risk profile. Upside capture of 139 and downside capture of 91. The top ten in this fund are online shipper (Amazon), Home Building supplier HD and Lowes, discount store ROSS, TJX, Burlington Stores, Dollar General, Dollar Tree. The top ten holdings make up 75% of the fund (concentrated bets).

Their main options? Keep it in storage, hold a sale, offload it to “off-price” retailers like TJ Maxx which sell branded goods at deep discounts, or move it to online resale sites.

None are ideal
