What is FAIL?

The Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF seeks to mitigate significant downside market risk. The Fund intends to invest in a portfolio of out of the money put options purchased on broad ex-U.S. stock markets. FAIL s strategy offers the potential advantage of buying more puts when volatility is low and fewer puts when volatility is high. While a portion of the fund s assets will be invested in the basket of long put option premiums, the majority of fund assets will be invested in intermediate term US Treasuries and TIPS, as well as short and intermediate term ex-U.S. sovereign bonds. As the fund is designed to be a hedge against market declines and rising volatility, Cambria expects the fund to produce negative returns in most years with rising markets or declining volatility.
