AGGP Investment Objective and Strategy
IQ Enhanced Core Plus Bond U.S. ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by New York Life Investments ETF Trust.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks investment results that track (before fees and expenses) the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the IQ Enhanced Core Plus Bond U.S. Index (the Underlying Index).
Principal investment strategy
The Fund is a fund of funds which means it invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the investments included in its Underlying Index, which includes underlying funds. The Underlying Index seeks to outperform the U.S. dollar-denominated taxable fixed income universe by using a combination of short- and long-term momentum to overweight and underweight various sectors of the investment grade and high yield (or junk) fixed income securities market (the Investment Grade and High Yield Market). The Underlying Index consists of a number of components (Underlying Index Components) selected in accordance with IndexIQ LLCs (IndexIQ) rules-based methodology of such Underlying Index. Such Underlying Index Components will include primarily ETFs and/or other exchange-traded vehicles organized in the U.S.
(ETVs) (such ETFs and ETVs are referred to collectively as exchange-traded products or ETPs). As of June 30, 2018, the Underlying Index consists of 20 Underlying Index Components. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in an Underlying Index Component. The Fund may also invest in other securities and instruments, including but not limited to futures contracts and swap agreements (collectively, Financial Instruments) and bonds. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, directly or indirectly through ETPs in bonds, which include all types of debt securities, of U.S. issuers. The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Underlying Index, which was developed by IndexIQ LLC IndexIQ with New York Life Investment Management LLC (NYLIM) acting as index consultant to IndexIQ.
The Underlying Index follows a rules-based methodology to construct an index consisting of investments in various sectors of the Investment Grade and High Yield Market. The sectors of the fixed income securities market in which the Underlying Index principally invests are: Short-term U.S. Treasuries (1-3 year maturities); Intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries (3-10 year maturities); Long-term U.S. Treasuries (greater than 10 year maturities); U.S. investment grade corporate bonds; U.S. investment grade mortgage-backed securities; U.S. high yield (or junk) debt; and U.S.-dollar denominated debt of emerging market issuers. The Underlying Index weights each of the various sectors of the Investment Grade and High Yield Market based on the total return momentum of each fixed income sector. Momentum is measured by comparing the average total return index of the fixed income market sector over a short-term period with the sectors average total return index over a longer-term period, while taking into account the volatility of the sector.
Volatility is the standard deviation of returns and measures the amount of fluctuation in a securitys or group of securities value over time. The Underlying Index overweighs fixed income sectors with high momentum and underweights fixed income sectors with low momentum. The exposure of the Underlying Index to different sectors of the Investment Grade and High Yield Market will vary over time. The maximum exposure of the Underlying Index to any single U.S. Treasury or investment grade sector is 50% of the Underlying Index. Up to 25% of the Underlying Index may consist of ETPs that invest principally in securities rated below investment grade (high yield debt). Up to 5% of the Underlying Index may consist of ETPs that invest principally in U.S.-dollar denominated debt of emerging market issuers.
Over long-term periods, the Underlying Index is expected to have similar volatility to the investment grade fixed income securities market. However, the Underlying Indexs and Funds volatility during certain periods may materially exceed the volatility of the investment grade U.S. fixed income securities market. The Underlying Index rebalances monthly. The composition of the Underlying Index may change over time.
