MRGR Factset Analytics Insight
MRGR launched its merger arbitrage strategy ETF in December 2012 and in two years, investors haven't yet bitten—AUM remains tiny. The fund is 80%+ net long in equities—this doesn’t necessarily diminish its value as an M&A strategy, but those looking for low correlation to equities should consider other funds. MRGR holds about 30 names directly and gets additional long exposure and all of its short exposure with swaps. Use of swaps for shorts keeps the headline fee low, although short expenses still flow through to the bottom line. MRGR charges a competitive fee but trades poorly so far.
