iQoncept/iStock via Getty Images QAI Strategy NYLI Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF ( QAI ) is a fund of funds launched on 03/25/2009, tracking the NYLI Hedge Multi-Strategy Index. QAI has a trailing 12-month yield of 1.47% and a net expense ratio of 0.88%. Distributions are paid annually. The Underlying Index seeks to achieve performance similar to the overall hedge fund universe by replicating the 'beta' portion of the hedge fund return characteristics. As described in the prospectus by New York Life Investment Management , the index primarily selects ETFs and/or other exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) with a rules-based methodology. The index seeks to track the returns of distinct hedge fund investment styles using ETPs and derivatives (mostly swaps); it doesn’t hold hedge funds. The investing universe includes equity strategies, fixed income strategies, emerging market strategies, sector strategies, and specialized and alternative strategies. They may include both long and short positions. The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis, and the portfolio turnover rate was 65% in the most recent fiscal year. Portfolio The fund holds 37 ETFs (all long positions), and 98 swaps with long or short exposure in the underlying assets. The next chart lists the top 12 asset or strategy categories tracked in the fund.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is closely monitoring the pharmaceutical industry for potential anticompetitive practices, as some of the blockbuster drugs are nearing the end of their patent exclusivity, the FTC's head of antitrust enforcement said on Tuesday at an event organized by Reuters. Dan Guarnera, director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition, added that observing how markets react to patent cliffs is part of the FTC's "laser focus" on healthcare. "We are always happy to hear concerns from market participants, including generics and patient groups, to make sure that the entry of generics can happen as it's designed to under the patent laws," Guarnera said at Reuters ’ Pharma USA conference in Philadelphia. Leading drugmakers are expected to lose billions of dollars in revenue this decade as some of their blockbuster medications approach the end of market exclusivity, paving the way for low-cost generics and biosimilars. Best sellers facing patent cliffs this decade include Merck’s ( MRK ) cancer therapy Keytruda; Bristol Myers ( BMY ) and Pfizer’s ( PFE ) blood thinner Eliquis; J&J’s ( JNJ ) multiple myeloma drug Darzalex; and Jakafi, a JAK inhibitor marketed by Novartis ( NVS ) and Incyte ( INCY ). Lilly’s ( LLY ) diabetes drug Trulicity, GSK’s ( GSK ) shingles vaccine Shingrix, Eylea, a blockbuster eye medicine marketed by Regeneron ( REGN ) and Bayer ( BAYRY ), Roche’s ( RHHBY ) Ocrevus, and AstraZeneca’s ( AZN ) Farxiga also have near-term patent cliffs. "It's an area that we care a lot about, not only because of obviously the huge effect it has on the economy, but also because it has such a direct effect on Americans' pocketbooks and well-being, ” Guarnera noted. He added that he was speaking in a personal capacity and his comments may not necessarily reflect the FTC’s views. Regarding Alcon’s ( ALC ) decision to abandon its M&A agreement with MedTech firm Lensar ( LNSR ) in response to the FTC's concerns earlier this week, Guarnera noted tha...

(RTTNews) - Despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East, the French stock market is up firmly in positive territory a little past noon on Wednesday, as oil prices dropped amid easing concerns about disruptions in supplies. Financial and luxury stocks are among the notable gainers. Oil prices have dropped following Iran reaching an agreement to resume exports via Turkey. Additionally, Iraqi and Kurdish authorities agreed to resume oil exports through Turkey's Ceyhan port, offering some relief to investors worried about supply disruptions caused by the escalating U.S.-Israel war on Iran. However, the mood remains somewhat cautious following confirmation from Iran's supreme national security council that their chief Ali Larijani has been killed, and due to continuing strikes in the Middle East. Meanwhile, investors are looking ahead to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement due later in the day. The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) are scheduled to make their policy announcements tomorrow. France's benchmark index CAC 40, which advanced to 8,066.62 earlier in the session, was up 69.02 points or 0.87% at 8,043.51 a little while ago. Societe Generale is rising nearly 4.5%. BNP Paribas is up 2.5% and Credit Agricole is gaining about 2.3%. Legrand is up by a little over 4%. Schneider Electric is advancing by 3%, while Saint Gobain, STMicroelectronics and Thales are up 2.5%, 2.3% and 2.1%, respectively. Accor and Airbus are up nearly 2%.

It goes without saying that megacap tech has been the dominant U.S. equity strategy for the past several years.

It goes without saying that megacap tech has been the dominant U.S. equity strategy for the past several years. Small caps, often touted as diversifiers and stocks with above-average return potential, have been consistent laggards since 2021. They last peaked relative to the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.25%) about a decade ago. The chart demonstrates this, using the iShares Core S&P Small Cap ETF (IJR +0.88%), which tracks the S&P 600, and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV +0.28%). One of the core drivers of this trend has been earnings growth. If the S&P 500 were to deliver on its current forecast of 11% earnings growth in the first quarter of 2026, it would mark the 11th consecutive quarter of positive year-over-year earnings growth and the sixth straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth. The S&P 600 Small Cap Index, however, has been on the opposite end of the spectrum. From Q1 2023 to Q2 2024, it produced year-over-year earnings growth of -10% or worse in six straight quarters. It only just turned positive again in Q2 2025. But the momentum may only be starting to pick up for small caps. Small caps are about to outpace large caps in earnings growth If the S&P 600 can deliver on current forecasts, it will generate 29% year-over-year earnings growth in the fourth quarter of this year. The Nasdaq-100, the benchmark for megacap tech, is expected to produce 28% earnings growth over the same period. In other words, small-cap earnings growth could soon begin to outpace that of the tech sector. That's important because small-cap performance and valuations have been a product of subpar earnings. The iShares Core S&P Small Cap ETF, which tracks the S&P 600, trades at a price/earnings (P/E) ratio of 18. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF trades at a P/E ratio of 28. That kind of valuation gap is understandable when the S&P 500 is delivering such better earnings growth. But when earnings growth rates are similar, the valuation gap should be much tighter. The P/E ratio on small caps h...

hongquang09/iStock via Getty Images Co-authored with Beyond Saving. The financial news media loves something to focus attention on. Today, it is panic over the alleged dangers of "private credit". The private credit mania has found a center in Blue Owl Capital Inc. ( OWL ). This is the company that manages Blue Owl Capital Corporation ( OBDC ), yielding 13.3%, in our portfolio. There is a ton of outright misinformation and ideas that have absolutely no basis in reality regarding OWL, and it is impacting our portfolio through OBDC, and, less directly, it is impacting all BDCs. Today, we want to take a dive into OWL, it's relationship with OBDC and why we believe that the current dip in OBDC is a buying opportunity. Who Is OWL? OWL is an asset manager. They make money by managing other people's money. When you see a headline about Blue Owl investing in this or that, they aren't investing their own money. OWL manages about $300 billion, which is spread across numerous funds that raised capital. When these funds raise capital, they tell the prospective investors what it will be used for. For example, here is the press release for ODI III: " NEW YORK, New York, May 15, 2025 -- Blue Owl Capital Inc. ("Blue Owl") (NYSE: OWL), a leading alternative asset manager, announced today the final close of its most recent digital infrastructure fund, Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III ("ODI III") with $7 billion of total capital commitments. ODI III exceeded the original target of $4 billion and hit its hard cap. ODI III will focus on developing, acquiring, and owning data centers and other connectivity related real assets to help meet the AI and cloud-driven global digital capacity needs of the world's largest technology companies, with a focus on large-scale, build-to-suit developments." Let us translate this into Plain English: OWL raised money for a fund that they provided with the very unclear name "Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III" – if you figured out that this ...
