This Fund Is Bringing Hedge Fund Strategies To ETFs: (HTUS)

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Hedge funds have had a rough time the past 10 years.

Using one measure, the HFRX global hedge fund index, they’ve underperformed the S&P 500 by 70% since March 2009. Using another measure, one preferred by AQR boss Cliff Asness, they’ve underperformed equities by 20% since 1994.

Looking over their performance and high fees, the Financial Times concluded: “No wonder exchange traded funds are so popular.”

But has the failure of hedge fund bosses helped the rise of ETFs? It certainly has – or so says Petra Bakosova, an ETF manager determined to cram hedge fund strategies into the ETF wrapper.
