"Just my take, but over any extended period of time these funds remind me of Ms. Pac Man and will eat any longer term insurance premium."

It depends doesn't it on when one enters and what the market does.

For instance, buying a hundred shares each of SKF and RFN today would run you a little under 3k. But if the market were to repeat last March those two funds would be worth about 35K. So you are getting better than 10 to 1 leverage against a financial armageddon. I hope it doesn't happen, but if it does I come out if it able to walk. Whether that is worth it or not I guess depends on what one is seeking from the market.
