IndexIQ: The Next Level of Indexing
IndexIQ is a leading investment management firm that has taken indexing to the next level by combining the best attributes of both passive and active investing. With a focus on innovation, research, and risk management, IndexIQ offers investors access to a range of unique investment strategies designed to help them achieve their financial goals.
At IndexIQ, we believe that traditional indexing has its limitations. While passive investing can provide low-cost exposure to broad market indices, it can also leave investors vulnerable to market downturns and other risks. On the other hand, active investing can offer potential outperformance but often comes with higher fees and greater volatility.
To address these challenges, we have developed a range of innovative investment strategies that seek to capture the benefits of both passive and active approaches. Our strategies are designed to provide investors with targeted exposure to specific asset classes or investment themes while also incorporating risk management techniques aimed at reducing downside risk.
One example is our IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF (MNA), which seeks to capture the spread between the price at which a company announces its intention to merge and the price at which it ultimately closes. This strategy aims for consistent returns regardless of market conditions by taking advantage of pricing inefficiencies in merger transactions.
Another example is our IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy ETF (QAI), which seeks to replicate hedge fund performance using liquid instruments such as equities, fixed income securities, commodities, currencies and options. This strategy aims for consistent returns regardless of market conditions by diversifying across multiple hedge fund styles including long/short equity funds; global macro funds; relative value funds; event-driven funds; short-biased funds; emerging markets funds; fixed income arbitrage funds.
In addition to these innovative strategies, we also offer more traditional index-based products such as our IQ 500 International ETF (IQIN) which tracks an index composed of 500 international companies from developed markets outside North America or our IQ US Real Estate Small Cap ETF (ROOF) which tracks an index composed primarily small-cap U.S real estate companies.
At IndexIQ we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of innovation in indexing while maintaining rigorous standards for research and risk management. Our team includes experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds who bring unique perspectives on investing trends across various asset classes including equities fixed income commodities currencies options futures etc..
We believe that this combination sets us apart from other firms in our industry allowing us not only deliver superior results but also providing clients with peace-of-mind knowing they are invested in well-researched portfolios managed by experienced professionals who understand how markets work over time.
