In this one-hour webinar, IndexUniverse.com Director of Research Dave Nadig examines how investors can use shorting strategies to reduce risk and potentially improve their portfolios' long-term returns.

This informative session will discuss basic hedging techniques, long/short extension strategies such as 130/30, and the use of shorting to separate manager performance from market performance (so-called portable alpha). The session will specifically address the pros and cons of implementing these techniques both by shorting traditional long ETFs, and by using ETFs that provide inverse market returns.

The webinar will conclude with a 20-30 minute interactive audience Q&A.
