Our read on GAA
BMeb Faber's answer to the US-heavy 60/40: one ticker holding about 30 ETFs across global stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities and currencies. Cambria's management fee on the wrapper is 0.00%; you pay the underlying funds.
The Fund seeks to preserve and grow capital through a diversified portfolio spanning global stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. It uses a quantitative, buy-and-hold approach across global asset classes, including value and momentum exposures.
Why people hold it
- Cambria takes a 0.00% management fee at the fund level. The roughly 0.40% you pay is the underlying ETFs' own fees, about half the typical allocation fund's expense ratio.sec.gov
- One trade, a global market portfolio: about 30 underlying funds spanning worldwide stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities and currencies.prnewswire.com
- Value and momentum tilts are built into the mix, so it leans toward cheap and trending assets rather than a plain cap-weighted blend.
- Live since 2014, paying quarterly, and it sits in the upper tier of the allocation funds we grade.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to the big allocation names, so spreads can run wider and larger orders may take patience.
- The 0.00% headline covers the wrapper only. The real cost sits inside the holdings, some of which are Cambria's own ETFs.sec.gov
- Owning the whole world means far less US stock than a home-market 60/40, so the ride can look nothing like the S&P 500 for long stretches.prnewswire.com
