IndexIQ Launches Actively Managed Real Assets ETF

The IQ CBRE Real Assets ETF (IQRA) is an actively managed fund that seeks to provide investors with total return through capital growth and current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of core real assets securities, including global real estate and infrastructure common equity securities. The fund will also target assets that could hedge against inflation and focus on sectors that may benefit from secular and cyclical investment themes. CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets will sub-advise the fund, and its lead portfolio managers will be Joseph Smith, Jeremy Anagnos, Jonathan Miniman, and Daniel Foley. The investment team will seek to add value through active positioning.
