When Down Is Up

Here's a look at some exchange-traded funds listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange that are designed

to give you the opposite return to their underlying stock index or commodity on a daily basis. If

markets are down in a day, then these ETFs should be up by a similar amount (and vice versa). In

each case, recent returns are compared against actual index returns. All ETFs here are in the Horizons

BetaPro family, which additionally offers inverse ETFs for crude oil and natural gas.
