Financial Standard Comments - BetaShares launches BEAR Fund BetaShares has launched an Australian Equities Bear hedge fund designed to generate returns even when the market is turning down. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=21203353 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:58:31 +1000 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:58:31 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Chris Gosselin (Australian Fund Monitors) This is hardly the first fund to allow investors to hedge against a fall in the ASX - there are well over 100 such funds which do so, albeit with varying degrees of success. However, the ability to trade it on the ASX with T3 settlement, no leverage or liability for margin calls does make an interesting difference.

Liquidity will be a key factor for investors to look for, and, like all short investments values will fall in any market rally.
