Rising Rates ETF "RISR" Unveiled by FolioBeyond and Tidal ETF Services
October 4, 2021--FolioBeyond, in collaboration with Tidal ETF Services, announces the launch of the Folio Beyond Rising Rates ETF (ticker: RISR), the Fund seeks to provide current income in a stable rate environment and protect against rising interest rates. We believe both institutions and retail investors can utilize RISR as a unique hedge against rising interest rates in what is a potentially increasing inflationary economic environment that ultimately must be dealt with by every investor.
"The global pandemic has extended a long-term macro environment where interest rates are extremely low and appear asymmetrically skewed toward higher rates in the future," said Yung Lim, CEO of FolioBeyond. "Most rising rate protection strategies are expensive and exhibit negative carry. RISR employs a positive carry strategy that looks to benefit from secularly higher interest rates and could attract significant interest from a broad range of institutions and retail investors." RISR is uniquely focused on these features and offers a much-needed risk in the ETF space.
