Our read on AOR

ETF.net Research

AA whole 60/40 portfolio in one ticker. AOR owns a basket of underlying stock and bond funds tracking an S&P target-risk index, charges 0.20% a year, and has been running since 2008.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of underlying equity and fixed-income funds designed to represent a growth-oriented target-risk allocation.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One ticker, one portfolio: it holds underlying equity and fixed-income funds and tracks an S&P target-risk index, so the stock-bond mix is rebalanced for you.ishares.com
  2. 02At 0.20% a year it undercuts the typical fund in its balanced-allocation group (0.29% median), and that one fee covers the whole stock-and-bond package.
  3. 03Live since 2008, so it has operated through the financial crisis and everything after, and it is now a multi-billion-dollar fund from the largest ETF issuer.

Worth knowing

  1. 01The mix is set by the index, not by a manager reading the market. No tactical dodging in a selloff, and no dial for you to turn.
  2. 02Cash comes quarterly, not monthly, and it is whatever the underlying stock and bond funds pass through.
  3. 03Trading is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads can widen in fast markets. On our overall read it lands in the lower half of its peer group.
