Cambria ETF Trust Converts Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF (SOVB) to Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF (FAIL)
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cambria ETF Trust and its investment manager, Cambria Investment Management, LP, an independent, investment advisory firm focused on quantitative asset management and alternative investments, today, converted the Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF (SOVB) to the Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF (FAIL). The investment strategy of the fund seeks to mitigate significant downside market risk in global ex-US equities. FAIL is listed on the CBOE BZX exchange.
Meb Faber, the fund's portfolio manager, said: "FAIL is a natural complement to our US-focused Cambria Tail Risk ETF, and provides an alternative to traditional inverse funds in hedging ex-US equity market risk."
The Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF (FAIL) utilizes a quantitative approach to actively manage a portfolio of "out of the money" put options purchased on broad ex-US stock market indices. FAIL's strategy offers the potential advantage of buying more puts when volatility is low and fewer puts when volatility is high. While a portion of the fund's assets will be invested in the basket of long put option premiums, the majority of fund assets will be invested in intermediate term US Treasuries and TIPS, as well as short and intermediate term ex-US sovereign bonds. As the fund is designed to be a hedge against market declines and rising volatility, Cambria expects the fund to produce negative returns in most years with rising markets or declining volatility.

The Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF is actively managed.
Cambria Global TAIL Risk ETF investment objective: The Fund seeks to provide income and capital appreciation.
An investment in the Fund involves risk. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return, and/or ability to meet its objective. Cash redemption risk may require the fund to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. Derivatives can be volatile, and a small investment in a derivative can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund as derivatives can result in losses in excess of the amount invested. Options used by the Fund to offset its exposure to tail risk or reduce volatility may not perform as intended. The Fund may purchase options and invest in other instruments that may be less liquid than other types of investments. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investor may lose money by investing in the Fund.
Diversification may not protect against market loss.
Prior to 3/15/2021, Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF (FAIL) operated as Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF (SOVB). On that date, the investment strategy and the objective also changed. Any performance prior to 3/15/2021 was achieved under the previous investment strategy.
