Howard Capital Management Launches Actively Managed Hedged Equity ETF
Howard Capital Management has launched the HCM Hedged Equity ETF (NYSE Arca: HAWG), an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to provide long-term capital appreciation while managing downside risk. The ETF combines broad large-cap equity exposure, a systematic options overlay strategy, and Howard's proprietary HCM-BuyLine® model into one transparent vehicle. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in large-cap equities from the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq-100. Approximately 80% of this exposure is hedged using a laddered put spread collar options strategy to manage risk while maintaining market participation. The remaining portion is managed via HCM-BuyLine, which guides portfolio positioning based on quantitative trend analysis. Howard Capital Management has $8.9 billion in assets under management and emphasizes defensive and tactical investment strategies aimed at navigating volatility and inflation.
