AltShares ETFs

by Water Island Capital

Democratizing Alternative Investments

​

 

Water Island Capital was founded in 2000 with a goal of offering alternative investment strategies – historically an option available only to institutional investors and high net worth individuals – to the broader investing public. Learn more about Water Island

 

AltShares builds upon this goal by leveraging the knowledge gained through decades of experience managing non-traditional investment strategies, and offering them to the public with the benefits of exchange-traded funds: tax-efficiency, liquidity, transparency, and lower costs.
