BTAL vs. ETF Alternatives
BTAL Description
"The Fund seeks performance results that correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses of the Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Anti-Beta Total Return Index. The target index, which is compiled by Dow Jones Indexes, is equal weighted, dollar neutral, sector neutral and is not levered. The index rebalances monthly by identifying the lowest beta stocks as long positions and highest beta stocks as short positions, of approximately equal dollar amounts, within each sector.
The Exchange Traded Fund provides investors with the means of seeking the spread return between low and high beta stocks. Low beta stocks are those stocks that are less volatile than the market index, and high beta stocks are those stocks that are more volatile than the market index.
Anti-beta investing entails investing in securities that have below-average betas and shorting securities that have above-average betas. The performance of the Fund will depend on the differences in the rates of return of these long positions and short positions."

What about getting off the coaster? Over the past two months, S&P's Low Volatility Index lost just 1.1% vs. the overall market's 9.8% decline, and it's holding up over longer periods too (+80% over the past 10 years).
