First Trust Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF Price & Performance (LALT)

New investors are weighing the pros and cons of allocating $10,000 to SPY or QQQ. While SPY offers broader market stability, QQQ provides tech-heavy growth potential but with higher risks. Experts suggest diversification or a mix of both ETFs to balance risk and reward, especially in the evolving AI-driven market.1

First Trust has introduced its Managed Futures Strategy Fund to European markets under the AIFMD. This actively managed ETF, previously available in the U.S., aims to attract institutional investors with its long and short futures strategies. The move reflects growing European interest in diversified multi-asset investment options.2

Institutional investors have adjusted their positions in First Trust’s Absolute Return Strategy ETF (FAAR). Atria Wealth Solutions reduced its stake by nearly 31% in Q4, while others, like Assetmark Inc., increased holdings. The ETF, focused on long/short commodity futures, remains a key option for diversifying portfolios.3
