Our read on AOR
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.
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
- One 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
- At 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.
- Live 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
- The 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.
- Cash comes quarterly, not monthly, and it is whatever the underlying stock and bond funds pass through.
- Trading 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.
