DWSH is actively managed, but relies entirely on a technical indicator to build a portfolio of short interests in US-listed large-cap stocks. The fund follows a momentum strategy, picking roughly 75-100 companies with the weakest relative strength. Securities are held short on a modified equal weighting. The fund manager reviews the portfolio on a weekly basis for changes in relative strength scores and potentially changes underlying holdings. In a volatile equity market, the strategy can generate a lot of turnover. A similar strategy is provided by sibling fund HDGE.
