FTLS: Reaffirming My Buy Recommendation
First Trust Long/Short Equity ETF remains a Buy for conservative and balanced investors seeking downside protection amid frothy market valuations. FTLS offers competitive returns with significantly lower volatility and superior downside protection compared to the S&P 500, making it ideal for risk-averse portfolios. While FTLS lags in up markets and has a high expense ratio (1.38%), its low beta and consistent risk-adjusted returns justify its inclusion for diversification.
