SH: Best Direct Hedge Idea Against S&P 500 Bear Market In 2025?
ProShares Short S&P 500 can be used as a hedge against market downturns, working exceptionally well with high interest income on cash holdings boosting its performance. In the face of a strong market uptrend, SH's -21% total return since September 2023 outperformed expectations, highlighting its effectiveness as a hedging tool. Owning SH in limited quantities reduces net stock market exposure, while offering some protection against a possible 2025 bear market or crash on Wall Street.

SH: An Effective Market Hedge With Hidden Income
The ProShares Short S&P500 ETF offers a relatively high income hedge against a decline in the S&P500. The SH ETF has historically tracked the inverse of the S&P500 effectively, minus the 0.88% expense fee, and has seen renewed inflows recently. The SH ETF is aimed at benefitting from short-term declines in the S&P500 but has performed well historically over extended periods following high-yield spreads between cash and stocks.

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.
