iShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF

The iShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to deliver a differentiated source of total return by employing a managed futures approach. Utilizing liquid derivatives, it takes both long and short positions across global equity, fixed income, commodity, and currency markets. The fund is classified as a liquid alternative, seeking to provide returns that are largely uncorrelated to traditional stock and bond investments, making it a powerful diversification tool within multi-asset portfolios. Managed by BlackRock's systematic investment team, the ETF leverages quantitative models to identify and follow market trends, aiming to add value in both rising and falling market environments. The strategy appeals to investors seeking exposure to non-traditional asset classes and seeking to potentially reduce portfolio volatility. With an expense ratio of 0.80%, the fund underscores its role as a sophisticated alternative strategy accessible through the efficiency and transparency of the ETF wrapper. Launched in March 2025, the iShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF reflects a growing demand for liquid alternatives that can complement core portfolio holdings by capturing diverse market trends and providing counter-cyclical return potential.
