Why Invest
Why Invest
Investing in the ETFs that invest in all of us.
Large-scale societal changes happen when we work together towards a common goal. The IQ Dual Impact ETF suite looks to invite the potential for financial gain through impact investing while helping to inspire change in the process—simply put, a double bottom line approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing.
IQ Dual Impact ETFs provide targeted, thematic investment strategies which seek to deliver compelling performance for investors while helping to improve outcomes in the communities we call home. Recognizing that we can’t bring about change alone, each fund aligns with a vetted non-profit like the National Wildlife Federation, Girls Who Code, the American Heart Association, and Oceana in order to support pressing, and sometimes dire, ecological and social causes.
Tackling big issues is big business
Comprised of stocks from companies whose operations contribute to the advancement of each fund’s theme, our ETFs seek to enhance individual portfolios’ potential as well as our planet.
We believe each offering in the IQ Dual Impact ETF suite provides a compelling investment opportunity informed by market trends, consumer behaviors, and New York Life Investments’ expertise in ESG investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
ESG Investing Style Risk Impact investing and/or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) managers may take into consideration factors beyond traditional financial information to select securities, which could result in relative investment performance deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. Further, ESG strategies may rely on certain values based criteria to eliminate exposures found in similar strategies or broad market benchmarks, which could also result in relative investment performance deviating. There is no assurance that employing ESG strategies will result in more favorable investment performance.
