Exchange-traded fund (ETF)

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds, and trades close to its net asset value over the course of the trading day.

Many of these investments are packaged as a way for investors to avoid the volatility of the market or capture growth in a particular sector.  In reality, these structured investments are just ways for the industry to increase revenues generated from the creation, sale, and management of these products.

Financial professionals and brokerage firms have a duty to recommend only investments that are appropriate for the client based on the client’s age, investment experience, net worth, and investment objectives.

If your financial advisor has over-concentrated your assets in any sector or investment, particularly one as volatile as the ProShares Trust Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF and you suffered substantial losses, you may have a claim to recover your losses through FINRA arbitration.
