⭐ Big Story of the Day

ORR: A Hedge Fund In ETF Clothing, Convincing Buy Opportunity

The Militia Long/Short Equity ETF (ORR) launched in January 2025 and is rated a buy for its differentiated, non‑correlated global long/short strategy. Since January 2025 it has generated a 47.1% net asset value return, outperforming the S&P 500 by 2.5 times while maintaining lower market exposure. The fund concentrates on Japanese small‑mid‑cap value, Mexican infrastructure and U.S. midstream energy, using mechanical index shorts that deliver a 0.5 beta hedge. Downside risks include leverage, BOJ rate normalization, governance reforms in Japan and liquidity concerns, positioning ORR as a non‑core, non‑correlated sleeve.

At the start of the year 1M RV was printing 8-9%. It has more than doubled. Vol-control funds are required by mandate to keep cutting equity exposure until that spread closes. Wouldn't be surprised to see this "unwind" a little this week but I do not think they are done selling.
