RYE BROOK, N.Y., Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IndexIQ, the leading provider of innovative investment solutions, today announced the January 2017 performance of its family of IQ Hedge™ Indexes and the updated holdings in the firm's IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF (NYSE Arca: MNA).  

Five of the six IndexIQ Hedge Indexes were positive for the month, with the IQ Hedge Event Drive Index up 1.7% and the IQ Hedge Long/Short Index up 1.17%.  The IQ Hedge Global Macro Index, which had declined slightly in December, bounced back to return 1.34% in January.  The IQ Hedge Market Neutral Index was the sole decliner, dropping -0.02%.

"The so-called 'Trump' market marched on in January, while international stocks had an additional tailwind following a drop in the dollar, also inspired by the President," said Salvatore Bruno, IndexIQ's Chief Investment Officer.  "This set the stage for what was another very positive month for liquid alternatives."

Designed as investable benchmarks that replicate the performance characteristics of sophisticated hedge fund strategies, the IQ Hedge Indexes comprise the first family of investable benchmark indexes covering hedge fund replication/alternative beta strategies.  IQ Hedge Index returns for the period ended January 31, 2017 were as follows:
