Our read on NDAA

ETF.net Research

CA research house best known for selling market indicators now runs money with them. NDAA is an actively managed fund of ETFs built on Ned Davis Research's 360 Approach, anchored at 60% global stocks and 40% global bonds but free to move well off that mix.

Stated mandate

The Fund is actively managed and uses Ned Davis Research’s 360° Approach to allocate dynamically among equity, fixed-income and commodity ETFs and money markets. Its stated allocation framework targets 60% global equities and 40% global bonds but can move materially away from that mix.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One ticket for a global mix: the fund allocates across equity, fixed-income and commodity ETFs plus money markets, rather than a single asset class.
  2. 02The 60/40 baseline is a starting point, not a cage. The manager can shift materially away from it as its indicators change.
  3. 03At 0.65%, it undercuts the typical fund in the allocation cohort, where the median runs 0.78%. Cheap for discretionary tactical management.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Index-based allocation peers cost far less: AOA charges 0.19% and IRTR 0.08%. You are paying up for the active calls, not the building blocks.
  2. 02Small and thinly traded. Spreads can be wide, so limit orders matter more here than in a mega-cap index fund.
  3. 03Launched in 2024, so the strategy has not yet been tested across a full market cycle in this wrapper. Distributions come annually or semiannually, not monthly.
