Seeking Alpha – The innovators were out with guns blasting as they introduced an ETF that acts like a hedge fund. How has it been doing since the March 25 launch?
This new ETF, established by Index IQ analyzes publicly available hedge fund performance data and then tries to replicate returns utilizing ETFs and other liquid trading vehicles. Additionally, it promises to perform as well as a hedge fund without the risk and with low correlation to traditional assets. Another benefit that this ETF could offer to investors is risk reduction because of its low correlation with the stocks and bonds that already dominate an investor’s portfolio.
