Actively managed ETF focused on shorting U.S. large-cap equities with weak relative strength, not a traditional NVOCC.
AdvisorShares Dorsey Wright Short ETF (DWSH) is an exchange-traded fund managed by AdvisorShares that seeks long-term capital appreciation by systematically shorting U.S.-listed large-cap companies exhibiting the weakest relative strength, as identified by Nasdaq Dorsey Wright’s proprietary model. The fund is actively managed and differs from traditional inverse ETFs by focusing on a select group of underperforming equities rather than broad market indices. DWSH is designed as a hedging tool for equity portfolios, offering potential alpha during market corrections and downturns. It is not a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) and does not engage in maritime shipping, freight forwarding, or container logistics operations.
The fund is managed by AdvisorShares, with Nasdaq Dorsey Wright serving as the sub-advisor. John G. Lewis, CMT, is the Senior Portfolio Manager at Nasdaq Dorsey Wright, responsible for the relative strength and momentum strategies underpinning DWSH. Lewis has extensive experience in technical analysis and has developed multiple investment strategies for the firm’s products.
DWSH does not operate or own any maritime equipment, containers, or vessels. The fund’s technology is focused on systematic, rules-based equity selection and risk management, leveraging proprietary relative strength models to identify and short underperforming U.S. large-cap stocks.
DWSH is an equity ETF traded on U.S. exchanges and does not maintain a global shipping network, port operations, or logistics infrastructure. Its operations are entirely financial, with no physical presence in maritime trade routes or port locations.
DWSH has assets under management totaling $12,734,895.59 as of October 23, 2025. The fund’s financial performance is tied to its ability to generate returns from short positions in U.S. large-cap equities. There is no publicly available revenue figure specific to the ETF’s operations.
DWSH offers no maritime shipping, freight forwarding, or NVOCC services. Its sole offering is an actively managed ETF that provides exposure to short positions in U.S. large-cap equities identified as having weak relative strength. The fund is intended for use as a hedging instrument within traditional equity portfolios, not as a provider of logistics or transportation services.
