The fund rallied, largely due to strategic positions in volatility in advance of the meteoric rise in the VIX amidst investor panic, and trading volume has picked up significantly in the fund ever since.
In fact, last Thursday, 600,000 shares traded in VQT versus average daily volume of about 33,000 shares. It appears that with some seasoning and awareness along with impressive live performance, VQT has opened the eyes of investors and portfolio managers that desire exposure to an alternatives type strategy within an ETN wrapper.
