The Hedge Fund Industry's 25 Favorite ETFs
Exchange Traded Funds are becoming an important market for hedge funds as BofAML notes, they have shifted their profiles from shorting single stocks to more actively using ETFs as a hedge. On aggregate, BofAML reports that hedge funds owned $36.9bn worth of ETFs at the beginning of 3Q 2014, up notably from $33.8bn in the previous quarter, and these are the top 25 by market value.
Notably, hedge funds bought Agricultural business (MOO) along with Emerging Markets (EEM, VWO), while selling gold (GDX and GLD) and Italy index (EWI).
Our universe consists of 758 ETFs listed in the US with market caps of at least $100mn as of June 30, 2014.

Owning ETF Stock equates to hitting the Mega millions jackpot.
isn't this like asking the guy on death row what he thinks about the death penalty?
Dear banking industry,
We plan on tearing you down limb, by limb. Then we'll hang you on a NIRP festival occasion. Washington DC may declare it a new Government Holiday.
Yeah right. You're going to whine on ZH and then do nothing (except maybe jerk off to porn and go to bed).
The real action is in the ETF options of course.
ETFS let mom and pop get exposure to ANYTHING..from natural gas to credit default swaps
they weren't intended for that though...

The sellside hates it when average Joe buys low cost ETFs. Index funds outperform 90% of professional fund managers.
Sellside needs people to believe they can pick tomorrs stock winner.
Therefore ETFs are not promoted to average Joe. It's low cost, excellent market coverage, no need to follow twenty companies filings and throuroughly study balance sheets.
Sellside loves to sell single shares to people who do not their homework and who cannot read balance sheets.
SPY missing? Can hardly believe that.
Also the huge weighting of emergin markets and agro seems quite strange.
Therefore a question: How was exposure quantified? Is being short an ETF marked with the invested capital?
