Are Exchange Traded Funds The Next ‘Big Short’?

Many ETF investors are unaware of a range of significant risks to their investments according to a group of experienced traders. Gary Norden of Australian-based Organic Financial Group, Nam Nguyen of Canadian firm Harbourfront Technologies and Larry Gazette, a US-based trader have between them nearly 80 years of market experience.

“Many investors wrongly believe that all ETFs are simple, passive structures with low risk,” says Gazette. “In reality though, many have a range of weaknesses that can significantly hurt investors,” according to Gazette.

“Even though we have only investigated a small percentage of ETFs so far, we have identified a number of vulnerabilities,” said Nguyen. “Timing when these vulnerabilities will strike is not easy, however, we are confident that we have a definable statistical edge in the set up for the trades we have already identified,” said Nguyen.

We see this as a once in a decade opportunity to offer our investors a way to participate in the crisis that will engulf the ETF market,” says Norden.

In an interview with InvestorDaily, Mr. Norden said “These products have never been tested in a difficult environment.

The traders are raising funds to start a hedge fund targeting these ETF weaknesses.
