Its an interesting idea. Having a small part of your portfolio in this etf would definitely help you from a diversification standpoint, even if on average, the ETF doesn't beat the market. This is because hedge funds typically have a weak correlation to the market. That being said, i'd give it at least a couple months to see if it *works*. There's a good chance its performance won't go quite as planned (Correlates to strongly to the market, or some other similar problem), and if so, then its just a gamble.
