Our read on LCR

ETF.net Research

CA 60/40 with a mind of its own: LCR is a fund of other ETFs that reshuffles its stock/bond mix monthly on Leuthold's Major Trend Index, the same quant model behind the firm's flagship Core strategy.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks capital appreciation and income, described as total return.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The allocation is a dial, not a setting: stocks and bonds each stay inside a 30% to 70% band, reset monthly by the model rather than by a calendar rebalance.businesswire.com
  2. 02It ports a Minneapolis research shop's house discipline into an ETF: the same rules-based quantitative process Leuthold runs on its long-standing Core mutual fund.businesswire.com
  3. 03One ticker, wide ground: underlying funds span US, foreign and emerging market stocks plus bonds, all pointed at a single total-return goal.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Active tactical work costs more: 0.84% a year, above the typical allocation fund, while index-based rivals like AOA (0.19%) and IRTR (0.08%) charge a fraction of it.
  2. 02Thinly traded. Limit orders matter here, and big tickets can push the price around.
  3. 03Income arrives on a slow clock: distributions come once or twice a year, not monthly.
