COMMENT
Apr 08, 2019
It's about behavioural economics. The ETF is a year old and it looks at how to capitalize on mispricings based on human behaviour. Investors are irrational. Say there's an earnings announcement and a stock beats or loses by a nickel, but the stock jumps way up or down out of proportional. This is for high-freqency traders capitalizing on the herd mentality of overreaction. MER of 1.16%
(A Top Pick Apr 08/19, Down 1%) This ETF is based on Nobel Prize winning behavioural scientific research about human overreaction to market moves. BHAV capitalizes on the irrational foibles/mistakes of traders (i.e. an earnings miss that results in a 10% drop).
Based on a Nobel-prize winning economist who studied investors who make behavioural mistakes. Often, stocks are oversold--a market over-reaction--on an aearnings miss. So, you're buying on the dips.
(A Top Pick Jul 23/19, Down 1%) Still likes it. BHAV looks for trading errors made by human behaviour (i.e. overreacting). It's based on behavioural economics.
(A Top Pick Jul 23/19, Down 0.4%) The fund capitalizes on irrational, yet predictable behaviour quirks by investors, namely overreactions to earnings surprises.
(A Top Pick Apr 08/19, Up 3%) Gains have been made recently. Trades are chunky. BHAV capitalizes of investor over-reaction after earnings reports. They lowered their MER. Low volumes, though. He's confident about BHAV long-term.
