Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on RIOT Options

IndexIQ &mdash; the issuer behind a unique lineup of fixed income, hedge fund and real assets exchange-traded funds &mdash; said Wednesday it is reducing the expense ratios on its lineup of 50 percent currency hedged ETFs.</p>
<p>IndexIQ, a unit of MainStay Investments, introduced its three 50-percent currency hedged ETFs about two years ago and the trio have proven quietly successful. On a combined basis, the three ETFs have $460 million in assets under management.</p>
<p>New York-based Index IQ is cutting the fees on three ETFs in dramatic fashion as each of the 50-percent currency hedged funds is seeing its annual expense ratio reduced by 16 basis points.</p>
<h3><b>Inside The Fee Cuts</b></h3>
<p>The <b>IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Europe ETF</b> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/HFXI#NYSE">HFXI</a>) has a new annual fee of 0.2 percent, or $20 on a $10,000 investment, down from 0.36 percent.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Unlike currency indexes available today which hedge 100 percent of the US dollar currency exposure of the underlying securities, this new suite of indexes from FTSE Russell hedges against 50 percent of the fluctuations between the US dollar and the home currency of the underlying index constituents,&rdquo; according to <a href="http://www.ftse.com/products/home">FTSE Russell</a>, the index provider for HFXI and the other IQ currency hedged products.</p>
<p>The <b>IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Europe ETF</b> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/HFXE#NYSE">HFXE</a>) and the <b>IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Japan ETF</b> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/HFXJ#NYSE">HFXJ</a>) each have new expense ratios of 0.3 percent per year, down from 0.46 percent.</p>
<p>HFXI features exposure to 22 countries while 15 countries are featured in HFXE.</p>
<h3><b>Performance</b></h3>
<p>The performance of the 50 percent currency hedged ETFs has been impressive. Over the past year, HFXI has outpaced the MSCI EAFE Index by almost 65 basis points. HFXE is higher by 15.3 percent over the past 12 months.</p>
<p>&ldquo;<a href="http://www.nylinvestments.com/polos/MEHFXI05-041767168.pdf">HFXI</a> and the other funds in this product suite have performed exactly as designed since we launched them in July of 2015, even as Brexit, the results of the U.S. election, and a push for a weaker dollar have whipsawed the currency market in different and frequently counterintuitive ways,&rdquo; <a href="https://www.nylinvestments.com/IQetfs/etfs/IQ-50-Percent-Hedged-FTSE-Europe-ETF">according to IndexIQ</a>.</p>

	Discount brokerage giant <strong>Charles Schwab Corp</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/schw#NYSE">SCHW</a>) is adding to what is already the exchange-traded fund industry&#39;s largest commission-free platform with the addition of five currency hedged funds to Schwab ETF OneSource.</p>

<h3>Currency Hedged ETFs</h3>
<p>The currency hedged ETFs from ProShares debuted in June with annual expense ratios of 0.27 percent and 0.23 percent, making them the pair far less expensive than rival Europe and Japan currency hedged ETFs. </p>
<p>The asset-weighted average expense ratio for currency hedged European equity ETFs was 0.56 percent and for currency hedged Japanese ETFs was 0.47 percent,<a href="http://www.proshares.com/news/proshares_launches_currency_hedged_europe_and_japan_etfs.html"> according to ProShares</a>. </p>
<p>The IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF, IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Europe ETF and the IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Japan ETF, each of which debuted in July, are 50 percent currency hedged, representing a new spin on the traditional currency hedged ETFs that have become so <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/15/09/5867634/the-currency-hedged-etf-love-affair-continues">popular with investors since last year</a>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Unlike currency indexes available today which hedge 100 percent of the US dollar currency exposure of the underlying securities, this new suite of indexes from FTSE Russell hedges against 50 percent of the fluctuations between the US dollar and the home currency of the underlying index constituents,&rdquo; according to <a href="http://www.ftse.com/products/home">FTSE Russell</a>, the index provider for HFXE, HFXJ and HGEU. </p>
<h3>Schwab ETF OneSource</h3>
<p>ALPS, Direxion, ETF Securities, Global X Funds, Guggenheim Investments, IndexIQ, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, PIMCO, PowerShares, ProShares, State Street SPDR ETFs, United States Commodity Funds, WisdomTree and Charles Schwab Investment Management are the issuers featured on <a href="http:// http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/investing/accounts_products/investment/etfs/schwab_etf_onesource">Schwab ETF OneSource</a>.</p>
<p>With Thursday&#39;s additions, &ldquo;investors can now buy and sell 214 ETFs covering 66 Morningstar Categories with $0 online commissions, no enrollment requirements and no early redemption fees &ndash; key differentiators for investors comparing Schwab ETF OneSource to other commission-free ETF offerings,&rdquo; said California-based Schwab in a statement. </p>
<p>At the end of August, OneSource had $44.2 billion in assets under management, $8.1 billion of which had arrived this year.</p>
