IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker is a non-diversified, open-end, management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index, which seeks to track the "beta" portion of the returns of hedge funds that employ various hedge fund investment styles, which may include but are not limited to macro, long/short, event-driven, market neutral, emerging markets, fixed-income arbitrage and other strategies commonly used by hedge fund managers. As of Apr 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment portfolio totaled $1,103,109,646 and $1,084,885,378, respectively. The QAI YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the QAI YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether QAI YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the QAI YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
