How Investors are Using IEQ to get Exposure Outside of the United States

We've seen financial advisors and individual investors utilizing IEQ to give their clients broad initial exposure to markets outside the United States. This has started to peak interest as people realize the recent volatility in the United States and the expensiveness of the US market.

Looking for perhaps similar companies overseas, they're generally priced cheaper. Our strategy, IQ, offers broad-based, risk-controlled exposure in international markets, but it is active. We have historically delivered compelling returns above what a passive solution would provide.

We really see it as a first step away from those passive solutions, a bit more excess return generated for our potential investors, and gives them exposure outside the United States.

Finally, because the strategy is well aware of wanting to be compensated for any active risk we've taken, it's an efficient use of that active risk.
