LQPE ETF Analysis: Dividends, Returns AMEX:LQPE

Analysis

Key stats

LQPE seeks to outperform the public equity markets by replicating traditional private equity (PE) funds focused on leveraged buyouts. The actively managed portfolio comprises 70-80% equity securities and 20-30% derivatives. The funds equity component consists of US-listed stocks of any market size that mirror the industries and company characteristics typically targeted by PE funds. Securities are selected based on the sub-advisers analysis of PE data and its proprietary models. The funds dividend component includes futures contracts and futures-related instruments designed to increase equity exposure and reduce downside volatility relative to public equity markets. LQPE gains exposure to futures contracts and other derivative instruments either directly or indirectly by investing up to 25% of its assets in a wholly owned Cayman Islands subsidiary. Lastly, the fund invests in cash, short-term US Treasury securities, money market funds, and cash equivalents to serve as collateral.
