Alternative ETFs
Most of these ETFs employ various strategies such as managed futures, merger arbitrage strategies, Inflation expectations, which are also known as non-traditional investments to achieve desired investment results. Alternative ETFs can provide a measure of alpha during periods of uncertainty for traditional asset classes. Because of this characteristic, theses ETFs may be suited for moderate investors who are somewhat less willing to accept variations in their portfolio's balance.
