This ETF offers inverse exposure to an index comprised of securities from European Australasian, and Far Eastern markets, making it a potentially attractive option for investors looking to bet against this sector of the global economy. It's important to note that EFZ is designed to deliver inverse results over a single trading session, with exposure resetting on a daily basis. Investors considering this ETF should understand how that nuance impacts the risk/return profile, and realize the potential for "return erosion" in volatile markets. EFZ should definitely not be found in a long-term, buy-and-hold portfolio, but may be a useful tool for more active investors looking to either hedge existing exposure or bet on a decline in EAFE equities. Investors also have the option of simply selling short a traditional EAFE fund, though that strategy will generally involve greater potential losses than utilizing an inverse ETF.
The adjacent table gives investors an individual Realtime Rating for EFZ on several different metrics, including liquidity, expenses, performance, volatility, dividend, concentration of holdings in addition to an overall rating. The "A+ Metric Rated ETF" field, available to ETFdb Pro members, shows the ETF in the Inverse Equities with the highest Metric Realtime Rating for each individual field.
