Could you elaborate on the concept of an inverse exchange-traded fund (ETF)? In simple terms, how does it work? I'm curious to know if these funds seek to profit from a declining market or a specific asset's decline in value. Do they operate by investing in short-selling strategies or derivatives? Are they suitable for investors with a certain risk tolerance? Additionally, how do they compare to traditional ETFs in terms of performance and risk? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

The primary objective of an inverse ETF is to provide investors with a return that is inversely correlated to a specific index or benchmark.

In essence, as the tracked index or benchmark rises, the inverse ETF's value falls, and vice versa.
