What is SSXU?

The Fund's investment advisor, Day Hagan Asset Management, actively manages the Fund's portfolio using proprietary investment models co-developed with Ned Davis Research ("NDR"). The Fund is considered a "fund of funds" that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by principally investing in unaffiliated international equity exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). The Fund will attempt to exceed returns of the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (the "Index") by overweighting and underweighting its exposure to geographic locations relative to the Index and may also invest in geographic regions not represented in the Index. The Fund may reduce its overall exposure to ETFs from time to time as determined by its risk management model, as discussed further below. The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the combined equity market performance of developed and emerging markets countries, excluding the U.S. As of May 31, 2022, the Index consisted of securities of 22 developed countries (excluding the US) and 25 emerging markets countries.

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.

Using ETF correlations in portfolio and strategy construction

ETF correlations can help you create investing strategies and portfolios. Use them to:

  • Build a diversified portfolio from uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETFs with the aim of minimizing portfolio risk.
  • Compare correlated or related ETFs to find one with a lower expense ratio or higher trading volume.
  • Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
