IALT: Multi-Strategy ETF With An Impressive Sharpe Ratio (Upgrade)

I upgrade IALT to a "Buy," recommending it as a satellite holding rather than a core allocation due to its derivative-heavy structure and short history.

IALT employs a systematic, model-driven approach blending market-neutral long-short equities, corporate bonds, and extensive derivatives exposure in stock indexes, bonds, commodities, and currencies.
