Why Active Strategy Subscription?
Understand how active strategy subscriptions differ from passive investing, long-only exposure, and traditional self-directed trading.
Passive Investing
Passive investing usually means buying and holding index funds, ETFs, retirement funds, or managed portfolios. It is usually long-only, meaning the investor mainly benefits when markets rise over time.
Active Strategy Subscription
An active strategy subscription may attempt to participate in different market conditions, including:
- Rising markets
- Falling markets
- Volatile markets
- Range-bound markets
Depending on the strategy, active trading may use futures, options, or Leveraged & Inverse ETFs.
Why Some Investors Consider Active Strategies
Some investors may consider active strategy subscriptions because they want:
- A more active approach than passive index investing
- Exposure to short-term market opportunities
- Strategy-based trading instead of self-directed manual trading
- Potential participation in both upward and downward market movement
- A way to follow a published strategy through their own brokerage account
Important Risk Message
Active strategy subscription is not guaranteed to make profits. Higher return potential usually comes with higher risk, including leverage risk, timing risk, margin risk, platform risk, execution risk, options expiry risk, and drawdown risk.
