SH: Arguably The Best Way To Short The S&P 500

SH is a simple way to short the S&P 500, consistently outperforming its intended -1x target and offering an impressive 6.11% TTM dividend. It outperforms when the VIX is low and the S&P 500 makes large daily swings. This was evident on Wednesday when the S&P 500 closed +0.85% higher, while SH closed only -0.77% lower. The cumulative effect of this can be very beneficial.
