Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF (ticker: IVOL) Celebrates 1-Year Track Record After Being Awarded “Best New US Fixed Income Fund of 2019” by ETF.com
New York, N.Y., May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the investment manager for KFA Funds and KraneShares ETFs, today announced that the Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF (ticker: IVOL), is celebrating its 1-year anniversary.
In April, IVOL was awarded “Best New US Fixed Income Fund of 2019” by ETF.com, beating fixed income ETFs issued by BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Van Eck and, Nuveen. Additionally, Bloomberg Intelligence cited IVOL for its efforts to “democratize hedge funds by putting hedge-fund-caliber strategies into a wrapper with lower costs and better tax efficiency.”1
IVOL is an actively managed ESG fixed-income ETF, launched by Quadratic Capital. IVOL seeks to hedge relative interest rate movements, whether these movements arise from falling short-term interest rates or rising long-term interest rates, and to benefit from market stress when fixed-income volatility increases while providing the potential for enhanced inflation-protected income.
“IVOL may help investors who are looking for diversification in their portfolios,” said Nancy Davis, the Chief Investment Officer of Quadratic Capital and portfolio manager for IVOL. “IVOL has had very low correlations with common asset classes. More importantly, the correlation data tells us that, since inception IVOL has done well on days that stock and bond prices fell.”
