QGTA Investment Objective and Strategy

IQ Leaders GTAA Tracker 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 correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the IQ Leaders GTAA 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 consists of a number of components (Underlying Index Components) selected in accordance with IndexIQs rules-based methodology of such Underlying Index. The Fund does not invest in mutual funds, and the Underlying Index does not include mutual funds as Underlying Index Components. The Underlying Index Components will include primarily ETFs and/or other exchange-traded vehicles issuing equity securities organized in the U.S., such as exchange-traded commodity pools (ETVs), and may include exchange-traded notes (ETNs) (such ETFs, ETVs and ETNs are referred to collectively as exchange-traded products or ETPs).

The Fund may also invest in one or more financial instruments, including but not limited to futures contracts and swap agreements (collectively, Financial Instruments). 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), an affiliate of IndexIQ Advisors LLC, the Funds investment advisor (the Advisor). The Underlying Index seeks to track the beta portion of the returns (i.e., that portion of the returns that are non-idiosyncratic, or unrelated to manager skill) of selected mutual funds pursuing a global allocation strategy (the Strategy). The Underlying Index seeks to track the performance of the 10 leading global allocation mutual funds based on fund performance and fund asset size, re-set annually in accordance with IndexIQs rules-based methodology (Selected Global Allocation Funds).

Global allocation mutual funds typically invest in a combination of equity, fixed-income and money market securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, and may also invest in other asset classes such as commodities. A global allocation mutual funds allocation to equity, fixed-income and money market securities and to different countries will vary over time based on the managers view of macroeconomic, country-specific, and issuer-specific factors. The Underlying Index may include both long and short positions in ETPs. As opposed to taking long positions in which an investor seeks to profit from increases in the price of a security, short selling (or selling short) is a technique used by the Fund to try and profit from the falling price of a security. Short selling involves selling a security that has been borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying the identical security back at a later date to return to that third party.

The basic principle of short selling is that one can profit by selling a security now at a high price and later buying it back at a lower price. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the price of the security between the sale and the repurchase, as the seller will pay less to buy the security than it received on selling the security. The Underlying Index generally is based on the premise that the returns of Selected Global Allocation Funds, when aggregated, display over time significant exposures to a set of common asset classes. By creating an index that has similar exposures to the same asset classes as Selected Global Allocation Funds generally, IndexIQ seeks to replicate the beta return characteristics of Selected Global Allocation Funds. The Underlying Index Components of this Strategy generally provide exposures to: U.S.

large-capitalization equity; U.S. mid-capitalization equity; U.S. small-capitalization equity; Foreign equity (Europe, Australasia & Far East); Emerging market equity; U.S. corporate investment grade debt; U.S. corporate high yield debt; U.S. mortgage-backed debt; and U.S. government short- and intermediate-term maturity obligations The Underlying Index is unlike traditional market-oriented indexes like the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Total Return Index (the S&P 500 Index). Instead of tracking the performance of publicly-traded issuers representing a market or industry sector, the Underlying Index seeks to track the returns of Selected Global Allocation Funds.
