Innovation In Hedged Equity: KSPY Friday, May 30, 2025 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
Buffer ETFs have experienced notable investor interest amid the 2025 bout of equity market volatility. Assets in these strategies surpassed $60 billion during the first quarter of 2025, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.1 While some expect continued growth, with BlackRock recently forecasting assets of $650 billion by 2030, others question the success, as AQR Capital Management recently called the space “an investment failure." 2
Against this backdrop, KraneShares partnered with Hedgeye Asset Management to launch the KraneShares Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index ETF (Ticker: KSPY), which aims to enhance the strategies deployed by incumbent “Hedged” or “Buffered” products through the dynamic adjustment of portfolio delta, as determined by a systematic framework based on Hedgeye’s Risk Range™ Signals.
Join Hedgeye Risk Management CEO Keith McCullough, Hedgeye Asset Management CIO John McNamara III, and KraneShares CIO Brendan Ahern as they discuss:
- Limitations of current “Hedged” and “Buffered” equity products
- Capital deployment strategies amid ongoing market volatility
- Advantages of dynamic portfolio delta in KSPY’s risk management
- Overview of the KraneShares Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index ETF (Ticker: KSPY)
- Comprehensive Q&A
