IQ Arbitrage ETF Solutions
IndexIQ offers a family of ETFs that are based generally on the premise that investment opportunities may be identified in particular market segments globally by breaking down these market segments into specific sub-segments and, using a systematic investment process, adjusting the relative weightings of the sub-segment components. Built upon rigorous academic and proprietary research, we believe these strategies represent a timely and important investment alternative.
IQ Arbitrage ETFs employ a rules-based process and utilize traditional arbitrage investment strategies in various market segments, including:
- Global Mergers / Takeovers
- Global Resources
- Global Infrastructure
- Global Real Estate
Our rules-based approach allows us to bring global arbitrage solutions to investors in highly-liquid* and easily tradable products. By delivering solutions in an ETF structure, we make it easier for investors to access global arbitrage solutions.
