All No Underlying Index ETFs

USA ETF Screener:

These funds employ a diversified set of strategies to allocate capital to the various assets.
For instance, there are ETFs that are event-driven and invest in stocks of companies which are expected to undergo certain 'events', like a stock split or a rights issue, which usually leads to a significant move in stock prices. There are the No Underlying Index ETFs which may select stocks based on the qualifying parameters of momentum trading strategies, or look for arbitrage opportunities.
In a nutshell, if you are looking for an actively managed ETF that is not bound by the performance of any particular benchmark index, then a big variety of exchange traded funds are available to invest your money. One should keep any eye on the expense ratio of such No Underlying Index ETFs as they may be significantly higher than the passively-managed index-based ETFs, and should understand the inherent risks that may come attached to such investments.
