About AltETF

Alternative strategies. Exchange listed.

AltETF is an independent research and discovery platform focused on European exchange-listed alternative investment strategies and specialist exposures.

The aim is to give professional investors a clearer view of a market that remains fragmented across managers, wrappers and strategy labels. AltETF brings together fund discovery, strategy classification and research in one place.

The universe spans both traditional alternative return engines translated into exchange-listed form, such as managed futures, long/short and relative-value strategies, and more specialist or engineered exposures where options, systematic rules, market structure or implementation materially change the investment outcome.

The platform is designed primarily for professional allocators, including wealth managers, private banks, family offices, institutional investors, consultants and multi-manager portfolios.

Platform

A focused alternative investment universe

AltETF covers European-listed ETFs, ETCs and ETNs providing access to alternative investment strategies and specialist exposures. The objective is not to build the largest possible fund database, but to create a focused and relevant universe for professional investors.

Products are assessed according to what principally drives the investment outcome, whether that is an alternative strategy, a differentiated payoff structure, a specialist underlying exposure or a materially distinct systematic implementation.

Research

Research around the market, not just the products.

AltETF research is organised across three areas: Fund, Strategy and Industry. The objective is to help investors understand individual products, the strategies behind them and the broader developments shaping the European market for exchange-listed alternatives.
