Inverse mutual funds and ETFs are designed to provide a positive return during a recession including a stock market crash.

Holding shares of inverse mutual funds and ETFs for more than a short time is not recommended as it is often difficult to determine how long a downturn will last. It is easy to expose oneself to unnecessary risk by confusing a temporary retracement and the beginning of a bear market.
