The Limitations of 'Copycat' ETFs Tracking Hedge Fund Holdings

Lapin expresses skepticism about 'copycat' ETFs like the Global X Guru ETF (GURU) that aim to replicate hedge fund long positions. She highlights the significant delay in reporting, as disclosures are up to 45 days old, and the exclusion of crucial short positions and options, which are key components of hedge fund strategies.
