Our read on AESR

ETF.net Research

DA macro call in ETF form: AESR ranks the S&P 500's 11 sectors, then holds eight to ten sector funds in whatever mix its outlook favors. No index leash, quarterly resets, and a bill that reflects the hands-on work.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks capital appreciation. It is actively managed, invests in U.S. equity securities directly or through underlying ETFs, and uses macroeconomic analysis to adjust exposure among equity-market sectors.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The job is specific: rank the 11 S&P 500 sectors by macro outlook, then hold eight to ten sector ETFs in that order. Rebalanced quarterly, or sooner if conditions shift.cboe.com
  2. 02Its prospectus says it is not managed relative to an index, so sector weights can sit far from a cap-weighted 500. That freedom to look different is the whole design.sec.govcboe.com
  3. 03Trading since December 2019, it has a multi-year record across real market cycles and moderate volume for a fund of its size.

Worth knowing

  1. 01It runs 0.97% a year, above the roughly 0.70% median for active US equity funds and multiples of core options like DFAU (0.12%) or DYNF (0.26%).
  2. 02Mostly a holder of other ETFs, so those underlying funds carry their own expenses, which ride along inside your return on top of the sector calls.regentsparkfunds.comcboe.com
  3. 03Results hinge on the macro ranking being right. A wrong read on which sectors lead can push returns away from a plain 500 fund in either direction.cboe.com
