Our read on MOOD

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost tactical funds follow price. MOOD follows the gap between institutional and retail sentiment, averaging four indicators into one equity dial that can swing from 0% to fully invested.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks capital appreciation by tactically allocating among ETFs and exchange-traded products covering equities, fixed income, commodities, including gold, and currencies.

Why people hold it

  • The engine is written down: four relative sentiment indicators, each scaled 0% to 100%, averaged into the equity allocation. Long only, no leverage.alphaarchitect.cometfarchitect.com
  • Fee of 0.77% sits below the median for tactical allocation funds, with no waiver propping it up, and the fund stands in the upper half of that peer group.
  • Live since 2022 and measured against a stated blend: 40% US aggregate bonds, 30% US large caps, 30% developed markets outside North America.
  • Gold and commodities enter on documented triggers, such as bearish dollar and Fed-policy sentiment, rather than a manager's hunch.alphaarchitect.com

Worth knowing

  • The sentiment inputs are proprietary: you see the resulting weights, not the signal. Allocations are recomputed weekly and reallocated at the adviser's discretion.etfarchitect.comalphaarchitect.com
  • 0.77% is below the category median, but cheaper tactical peers exist: ENDW at 0.22%, PBL at 0.45%, GMOD at 0.50% net of a waiver through June 30, 2027.
  • Non-diversified by design and thinly traded, so a small book of ETFs drives results and spreads can run wider than the category's household names.sec.gov
