Innovative ETF Investing Strategies

Tuttle argues only S&P/VIX options—not bonds or gold—reliably hedge portfolios, while thematic ETFs should chase suppliers' suppliers, not obvious winners.

• Inverse-ETF backstory: Tuttle launched inverse funds betting against Cathie Wood's ARK and Jim Cramer's picks, citing reversion to the mean and lack of media accountability; both funds were later closed after the theses played out (Cramer's anti-Mag-7 stance became untenable by 2023).
• H.E.A.T. framework: Tuttle's philosophy—Hedges, Edges, Asymmetry, Themes—says bonds and gold aren't real hedges; only S&P/VIX puts and calls reliably pay off when markets drop 20%+.
