AXS Short Innovation Daily ETF (SARK) Marks 1-Yr Anniversary Up over 113% and Delivering for Investors
SARK launched in November 2021 as the industry's first-ever US ETF based on a single underlying ETF
NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AXS Investments, a leading asset manager providing access to alternative investments for growth, income and diversification, is pleased to celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of its AXS Short Innovation Daily ETF (SARK). Over the 1-year period ended November 5, 2022, SARK was up 113.77%, while the S&P was down -18.54%.
SARK, which was the industry's first-ever US ETF based on a single underlying ETF, provides daily inverse exposure to global companies that may benefit from disruptive innovation – for Disruptive Technology "Bear" investors. By contrast, the firm's AXS 2X Innovation ETF (TARK) is for Disruptive Technology "Bulls" looking to express their high conviction positive investment view on Disruptive Technology stocks.
SARK and TARK were met with strong investor demand upon their launch, amassing over $500 million in assets collectively in the one year since inception.
"We are thrilled to celebrate the first anniversary of SARK, a pioneering ETF in the way it provides inverse exposure to companies that may benefit from disruptive innovation," said Greg Bassuk, Chief Executive Officer of AXS Investments. "We believe investors should be able to easily access unique market exposures, no matter if they are bullish or bearish. Through SARK and TARK, AXS has provided a complete investor toolkit for those wishing to express their strong convictions on the future direction of these companies, complementing the more traditional allocations within their portfolio."
AXS also launched the AXS Short China Internet ETF (SWEB) earlier this year to provide the inverse return of China-based Internet companies. Shortly thereafter, AXS cemented its reputation as an industry pioneer with the launch of the first-ever suite of U.S. single-stock ETFs that provide leveraged or inverse exposure to several popular equity names, ushering in a whole new chapter in the evolution of the ETF space.
"As the industry's pure-play provider of alternatives to traditional asset classes, we've worked hard to build out a strong lineup of funds that can benefit portfolios across a wide range of market environments," said Bassuk. "We're thrilled to see that our story is resonating with investors, providing diversification and new exposures for their portfolios in a challenging year for the markets."
