I am thinking of the following scenario:

  1. Expansion, index with low fees
  2. After a market crash, lever up and buys equities

Does there exist a fund which follows this strategy? Preferably an ETF?

    What is a mostly-passive fund that becomes active after a stock market crash? Got an example? Or is this something that you hope exists? Commented Jun 5, 2019 at 21:13

Something close to what you're looking for would be a balanced/tactical allocation fund, like VBIAX. It invests in a fixed mix of 60% stocks, 40% bonds.

When the market crashes, to rebalance, it will sell bonds to buy stocks. It will do the same in reverse if the market soars. All while keeping a very low expense ratio and needing no action on your part.

You could accomplish this with any ETF and a limit order. Just decide what price indicates the stock market has crashed and set the limit order to buy at that price or better.

  • Not really what is asked here. OP wants to know if a hybrid active/passive fund exists, one they would ideally be invested in and have qualities of a passive index fund during an economy boom but switch to active management to weather recessions/market crashes.
