About this ETF
The Simplify Hedged Equity ETF (HEQT) is engineered to generate long-term capital growth by focusing its investments on major U.S. companies. Simultaneously, it employs a sophisticated strategy of put-spread collars. These options contracts are specifically structured to provide a protective layer for its equity exposure, thereby dampening market fluctuations and mitigating overall risk. This blending of equity investments with put-spread collars has emerged as a favored technique for constructing more stable and risk-aware equity portfolios. Such an approach enables participation in potential market rallies while establishing safeguards against significant downturns. HEQT further refines this strategy by implementing a rolling series of these collars, with expirations staggered across three consecutive months. This systematic, laddered approach aims to make the fund's hedged equity experience more robust and less susceptible to the timing impact of rebalancing decisions.
