NBI Liquid Alternatives ETF (NALT)

An alternative and accessible way to mitigate risk across different market environments

Managed by National Bank Trust Inc.

Amid the uncertainty in the world, and today’s complex markets, investors need more advanced investment solutions with low-to-negative correlation to equity and fixed income markets.

Adding alternative strategies to a traditional portfolio provides this potential.

They offer:

 the ability to mitigate market volatility

 protection in down markets

 enhanced portfolio diversification

 increased potential of achieving higher risk-adjusted returns

 low exposure to equity indices

Liquid alternatives

Liquid alternatives are fairly new to the Canadian marketplace. However, the underlying strategies on which they are based have been in place for many years within the hedge fund space for institutional and high-net-worth investors.

Liquid refers to the ease with which all investors can both purchase and redeem units of these funds. Alternative strategies offer both the liquidity and accessibility of conventional funds and the flexibility to move beyond a “long-only” portfolio construction.

Why include liquid alternatives in a portfolio

Liquid alternatives bridge the gap between traditional mutual funds and hedge funds, bringing together the best elements of both worlds.
Strong regulatory oversight allows investors to see through this “glass box” with ease and transparency.

How do liquid alternatives compare to other solutions
