Most smart beta has gone the same way. Attractive on paper, then underperforming for years once it's live, once the strategy gets crowded and the public factor it leaned on stops working. If you've evaluated one of these products before and stayed skeptical, that skepticism is earned.
iQ Index Tracking Plus is the alternative. We compute a portfolio that keeps its risk profile close to the benchmark you already trust, while still beating it, year after year, not just in the backtest. It runs on our own framework for synthetic indices and proprietary factors, so it isn't relying on the same public factor everyone already trades. We're already running this live with a top-tier European asset manager on the Nasdaq 100, among the first pilots of its kind.
We work with a select number of partners ready to move past the standard smart-beta playbook, not run another copy of it.
