Spear Alpha ETF High-Risk Strategy Pays Off

Delevska first invested in Nvidia in 2023, when the stock was not performing well. This move proved advantageous, as Nvidia’s value has since increased by over 220%. The investment in Nvidia, now the largest in Spear Alpha ETF’s portfolio, exemplifies Delevska’s high-risk, high-return strategy.

This strategy not only contributed to Spear’s outperformance but also positioned the fund for future stability. Delevska anticipates a 30% to 40% return on Nvidia over the next few years. This suggests a shift towards a more defensive role for Nvidia within the portfolio.

The fund’s overall strategy does not focus solely on thematic investments. Instead, it draws themes from the diverse industries of the companies it invests in. This includes sectors like enterprise digitalization, space exploration, and decarbonization.
