Our read on BAMA

ETF.net Research

In short

DBrookstone's tactical sleeve in a wrapper: a handful of unaffiliated ETFs that can swing from all-in on stocks to all-out in Treasuries and cash. Price of that freedom: 1.01% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks total return through active allocation among unaffiliated ETFs covering domestic and foreign equities, bonds, cash and cash equivalents, and potentially leveraged ETFs. Asset-class weightings may change with market conditions.

Why people hold it

  • The mandate is genuinely unconstrained: global stocks, bonds including junk, cash, even leveraged ETFs, with weights shifting as the adviser's outlook shifts.sec.gov
  • A fee waiver trims the 1.04% gross charge to 1.01% net through September 30, 2027. Distributions arrive quarterly.
  • One ticket buys the allocation calls of a multi-billion-dollar RIA, live since 2023 as part of an eight-ETF Brookstone lineup.brookstonecm.comcboe.com

Worth knowing

  • At 1.01% net, it sits above the allocation category's typical fee, and far above index-built peers like UCBG at 0.06% and IRTR at 0.08%.
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so spreads and order size matter more here than in the category's giants.
  • No index to measure it against: results ride on the adviser's timing, and any leveraged ETF it holds tracks daily moves, not long stretches.sec.gov
