Our read on AADR
DMost international funds buy the whole market and sit still. AADR runs a Dorsey Wright relative-strength playbook instead: rank stocks on momentum, hold about 40 of the leaders, and rotate out of the laggards.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation above international benchmarks such as the MSCI EAFE Index.
Why people hold it
- The momentum bet is the product, not a tilt. Its relative-strength screen is openly advertised, and the stated goal is capital appreciation above international benchmarks like the MSCI EAFE Index.advisorshares.com
- Concentrated on purpose: roughly 40 names spanning developed and emerging markets, so individual picks carry real weight instead of getting diluted across hundreds of positions.
- Live since 2010, giving the relative-strength approach a long public record across several very different international market cycles. Distributions come quarterly.
Worth knowing
- At 1.17% a year, it costs roughly double the typical active international equity fund, and index-flavored peers like AVDE and DFIC charge a small fraction of that.
- A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the category's heavyweights.
- Momentum leadership rotates. A concentrated book chasing relative strength can turn over often and move very differently from broad EAFE exposure in either direction.
