Factor Advisors LLC
 Factor Advisors LLC Investment Banks/BrokersFinance Factor Advisors seeks to improve the way investors accomplish spread trading strategies. The firm's flagship offering, FactorShares, is the first family of spread ETFs. Each FactorShares ETF allows investors to track one long and one short market segment with one trade. FactorShares ETFs are designed to deliver twice the spread between two market segments in one ETF. Factor Advisors' investment approach is based on an understanding of investment returns as dependent on multiple sources of unique factor returns, such as arbitrage pricing theory. Listed on the NYSE Arca, Factor Advisors' ETFs hold paired long and short positions in 5 major asset classes: the S&P 500 Index, US Treasury bonds, gold, oil and the US dollar. The ETFs are rebalanced daily to maintain dollar neutrality and target a leverage ratio of 4:1 in which each dollar invested provides approximately $2 of long futures exposure and $2 of short futures exposure, after daily rebalancing. | Founder | - |
