New Hedge Fund ETFs from WisdomTree

Friday June 19, 2009

One of the more popular ETF providers, WisdomTree, is adding to their current ETF line with some new hedge fund ETFs. And while WisdomTree is known for its foreign ETFs and currency ETFs, they would like to expand with three new actively managed ETFs.

  • WisdomTree Long-Short Fund
  • WisdomTree Real Return Fund
  • WisdomTree Managed Futures Fund
  • The Real Return ETF has a pretty interesting slant since it will play on the current inflation situation by tracking a basket of inflation protected securities. There may be a few different way to use it in your investing strategy and quite possibly as a form of inflation risk hedge. The other new ETFs will stay true to their names. The Managed futures fund will invest in managed futures and the Long-Short fund will implement a long-short investment strategy.

    It's nice to see more and more new ETFs being designed and launched every day as this financial investment sector continues to grow in popularity...and for good reason.
