The Advisors Inner Circle Fund II 3EDGE Dynamic Hard Assets ETF(AMEX:EDGH)

EDGH seeks capital appreciation in rising markets while limiting losses during periods of decline by investing in hard assets. The fund defines hard assets to include metals, energy- and agricultural-focused commodities, broad commodity baskets, and equity securities (REITs and MLPs), as well as equity ETFs with similar exposures and TIPS. The fund does not directly hold hard assets but instead uses ETFs and derivatives to invest in physical hard assets, futures-based commodities, and other inflation-protective assets. The fund employs a proprietary model that combines valuation, economic, and investor behavioral factors. A committee then selects assets deemed undervalued and/or are believed to respond positively to financial market catalysts. The fund may also use derivatives for hedging purposes but will not use them to increase leveraged exposure. As an actively managed ETF, the fund manager has full discretion to adjust the portfolio at any given time.
