Dent Tactical ETF (DENT) Uses Demographic Analysis to Anticipate Global Trends

HS Dent is pleased to announce the launch of the Dent Tactical ETF (DENT), an actively managed ETF which is managed by HS Dent Investment Management, LLC and is sponsored by AdvisorShares. The ETF will begin trading today, September 16, 2009, on the NYSE under the symbol DENT. Look for it!

HS Dent will use a combination of economic insight and relative strength to determine the portfolio composition of the ETF. HS Dent believes this strategy is appropriate for the current economic situation because it allows the ETF to follow trends as they emerge in what is expected to be a very volatile market over the next several years. In addition, the ETF can become “defensive”, rotating to hold very short duration (less than one year) fixed income, if the financial markets begin to deteriorate and the relative strength of potential investments weakens.

Throughout its history HS Dent has worked to bring clients the best economic insights possible, using such tools as demographic trends and predictable consumer spending patterns to estimate changes in GDP, inflation, and other important benchmarks for different countries around the world. During much of the 1990s and 2000s HS Dent was forecasting economic growth. As we have long warned in our research, the period beginning in 2008-2009 would be very difficult. It is for this reason that we think a more flexible investment approach, like the one we use in the Dent Tactical ETF, could be effective.

We invite to learn more about the ETF by reading the prospectus to see how our investment approach might fit into your portfolio.

An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying ETFs that comprise its “fund of funds”. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. Investing in emerging markets magnifies foreign securities risks. Funds focusing on a particular industry, group of industries, sector and/or smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility. Newly organized Funds have no trading history, and there can be no assurance that active trading markets will develop or be maintained.
