"Since Arrow’s beginning, we have been committed to offering targeted portfolio solutions for ever-changing market conditions," says Joseph Barrato, CEO and Director of Investment Strategy at Arrow Investment Advisors. "With our latest ETF launch, we are pleased to offer a core holding for advisors who may wish to add a tactical element to a strategic investment portfolio."
The fund benefits from the research expertise of Dorsey Wright and Associates, leaders in technical analysis for over 25 years. Global macro strategies generally look at the big picture of macroeconomics across global asset classes, in this case, from a relative strength basis.
Based on the DWA RS Global Macro strategy, the Arrow DWA Tactical ETF (NASDAQ: DWAT) seeks to systematically identify and provide exposure to leading global market strategies across U.S. equities, international equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies. The fund can also invest up to 30% in inverse U.S. equity exposure in the event of a prolonged market drawdown.
"The DWA RS Global Macro strategy has the ability to invest in strategies that are demonstrating positive relative strength across various asset classes and market segments," states Tom Dorsey, President of Dorsey Wright and Associates. "We are pleased to partner with ArrowShares to provide access to this rules-based strategy through an ETF that is based on technical analysis, which draws on the foundation of basic economics and the irrefutable law of supply and demand."
