Watchdog Research, Inc. • www.watchdogresearch.com • [email protected] • (855) 820-6272 This is a story about four people investing in ETFs. They are named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
Everybody wanted to buy ETFs because ETFs are such great investments. “Not so fast,” said Somebody. “Nobody should buy an ETF without rst understanding the accounting and disclosure risks for the ETF’s basket of stocks.”
Everybody scoffed: “Don’t be silly! What could go wrong? Let’s just BUY immediately! Somebody at the ETF must have done that work for us.” Anybody explained how Everybody was wrong in their thinking: “Most ETF prospectuses speci cally say Nobody at the ETF actually does traditional stock risk analysis.” Everybody read many ETF prospectuses, and, sure enough, Anybody was right! So, while Everybody should know the risks before buying an ETF, Nobody was actually doing it.
Until this report was created.

Gray Swan Event Factor Reports
An annual subscription to our Gray Swan Event Factor Reports costs $8,000 per year per individual subscriber (group subscription rates available). A GSEF annual subscription automatically includes a subscription to our Watchdog Reports. The GSEF is a forward looking valuation factor. It identi es the percent a stock’s price is overstated when accounting for the likelihood of a future negative accounting or disclosure event. These risks are di cult to quantify and tend to be ignored or disregarded as negligible. However, they often lead to substantial losses with each underlying stock. Before buying, selling or recommending a stock, anyone with a duciary or suitability obligation should review the stock’s Gray Swan Event Factor to quantify the stock’s potential losses for future accounting and disclosure risks. GSEF Reports are updated weekly on our website and quarterly on Factset, Re nitiv (ex Thomson Reuters), Capital IQ and other platforms. The full paid version includes detailed break-outs of contributing risk factors, with links to original source materials.
