A subsidiary of one of the oldest and largest life insurance companies in the world, we have a solid foundation and the resources to continue our culture of innovation.
Institutional Investors increasingly using Liquid Alt ETFs for both strategic and tactical allocations
The recent launch of our ESG-related ETFs in partnership with fellow NYLI boutique CANDRIAM.
The growing popularity among investors of actively managed ETFs, particularly actively managed Municipals and High Yield Low Volatility.
The ETF structure will continue to grow across all investor types, from self-directed retail to the largest institutional manager, due to the structural efficiencies’ ETFs provide and the consistently expanding menu of exposure options. Equities have been the dominant asset class in ETFs thus far, but as the ETF ecosystem grows, the smaller areas will increase at an accelerated pace, particularly liquid alternatives, and actively managed exposures, that generate alpha.
IndexIQ has established a long track record of demonstrating the value of innovation. From offering the first liquid alternative ETF, to leveraging our multi-boutique platform, each ETF is thoughtfully- constructed and our specialized investment solutions help our clients meet the increasingly complex challenges they face in their portfolios today. We provide leading solutions in three categories – liquid alternatives, smart core solutions, and actively managed strategies leveraging our larger multi-boutique structure.
BACKGROUND
After managing the venture portfolio for Oracle, Eric Ball and Jack Crawford spun out to launch Impact Venture Capital in 2016.
Impact Venture Capital differentiates through its strong partnerships with corporate venture groups of the world’s largest companies. Through these partnerships, the innovative VC firm is able to bring additional capital, customers, and credibility to the startups they invest in.
Impact Venture Capital has now co-invested alongside Intel, Baidu, Yamaha, SK Hynix, Kubota, Goldman Sachs and other leading corporations into 17 companies that have raised more than $200M of follow-on investments.
In Impact Venture Capital’s Fund I, 8 companies have already increased in value and one was acquired in March by Thomson Reuters for $125M.
Following a $10M initial close from existing LPs, Impact Venture Capital is now working to identify additional family offices and corporations for its targeted $50M Fund II in 2020.
Impact has made three investments already from Fund II: Syntegra (digital health), ScoreData (predictive analytics), and CapConnect+ (bond issuance platform), and will make more throughout the year.
