IndexIQ, a provider of liquid alternative investment products and the issuer of the industry’s first-ever hedge fund replication Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), has been named Best Alternative ETF Manager at the 2011 ETFExpress Awards in London.
“We are extremely pleased to be recognised as the Best Alternative ETF Manager,” says Adam Patti (pictured), Chief Executive Officer at IndexIQ. “Our goal from the start has been to ‘democratise’ the alternative investment industry by giving investors and their advisors access to institutional quality alternative investment strategies through liquid, transparent and low cost products, like the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy ETF (Ticker: QAI) and our other alternative investment ETFs. QAI created a whole new category of ETFs when it was introduced nearly two years ago, and has helped IndexIQ pave the way for the introduction of a broad family of alternative investment ETFs.”
