In a recent ETF 360 interview, VettaFi’s Kirsten Chang spoke with Brad Roth, founding principal and CIO of THOR Funds, about two index-based strategies designed to manage downside risk in today’s volatile and concentrated market. Roth highlighted how elevated valuations and narrow market leadership are prompting investors to reassess diversification. He critiqued traditional equal weight strategies for not fully mitigating concentration risk, noting that THOR’s Equal Weight Low Volatility ETF (THLV) improves diversification by weighting sectors equally rather than individual stocks. Additionally, Roth emphasized THOR’s long-standing use of risk-off signals, now integral to their THOR Index Rotation ETF (THIR), which dynamically tilts away from underperforming factors.
