Our read on HECA
In short
CA research shop's macro call, wrapped in an ETF. Hedgeye actively shifts among stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies (mostly via other ETFs) and writes a 15% peak-to-trough NAV drawdown limit into its own objective, which the prospectus does not guarantee.
Stated mandate
The Fund actively allocates among equities, bonds and other debt instruments, commodities, and currencies, primarily through ETFs. It seeks to maximize returns over rolling 12-month periods while limiting peak-to-trough NAV declines to 15%, without guaranteeing that outcome.
