  • BlackRock Integrates Hedge Fund Strategies into Liquid Alternatives ETFs
    April 10, 2026, 8:40 AM EDT. BlackRock is adopting hedge fund-style long-short strategies for its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to enhance portfolio diversification. Senior portfolio manager Jeffrey Rosenberg leads the firm's liquid alternatives ETFs, which seek to provide returns uncorrelated with traditional stock and bond movements. This approach responds to recent breaks in the historical inverse relationship between stocks and bonds, challenging the usual 60-40 portfolio balance. BlackRock's iShares Systematic Alternatives Active ETF (IALT) and Managed Futures Active ETF (ISMF) have gained roughly 8% and 5% year-to-date, respectively. Industry experts like Todd Rosenbluth see liquid alternatives as a niche but growing category, offering investors exposure that 'zags when the market zigs.' The strategy aims to address concentration risks in large-cap tech equities and improve diversification beyond standard market beta exposures.
