Additionally, one can easily look up the holdings of the fund on the ETF sponsor’s website on a daily basis which is certainly not the case in a traditional hedge fund scenario. Since inception in late November of 2009, ALT has lost 0.10%, so roughly flat during this time period, and until about a week ago the fund was actually up since inception but it has lost some ground recently, falling through both the 50 and 200-day moving averages and closing yesterday near multi-month lows.
