What is BOAT?

The SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (BOAT) provides pure-play exposure to the global maritime shipping industry. BOAT is an indexed ETF that seeks to provide performance results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to the Solactive Global Shipping Index. The Index consists of global shipping companies engaged in the maritime transportation of goods and raw materials, including consumer and industrial products, vehicles, dry bulk, crude oil and liquefied natural gas. Maritime shipping is considered the lifeline of the U.S. and global economies, as around 90% of the world s trade is carried by sea. With the economy s continued reliance on world trade, just-in-time manufacturing and inventory management, our dependence on maritime shipping should continue, which in turn should benefit shipping company stocks. BOAT allows investors to express a bullish view not only on this critical industry, but also on the anticipated recovery of the global economy that it sustains.

What is ETF correlation?

Correlation is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two ETFs. It quantifies the degree to which prices of the two ETFs typically move together.

Here, correlation is measured over the past year with the Pearson correlation coefficient (Pearon’s r), which ranges from -1 to 1.

  • •Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
