TAIL: With Bond-Equity Correlations Back To Positive, This ETF Is Set To Underperform (Rating Downgrade)
Security terms
To offset the costly 'bleed' of buying S&P 500 put options, the Cambria Tail Risk ETF invests the majority of its capital in 10-year Treasuries instead of short-term T-Bills. This introduces a duration risk of roughly 7.5 years, making the fund highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Because of its heavy exposure to 10-year Treasuries, TAIL's net asset value (NAV) declines when interest rates rise.
