Our read on PPI
CThe ticker is an inflation gauge, and that is the point: an actively managed basket of roughly 40 real-asset holdings that defines success in inflation-adjusted terms instead of against a stock index.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation in inflation-adjusted terms and normally invests at least 80% of net assets in investments with significant exposure to real assets.
Why people hold it
- The mandate is unusually explicit: at least 80% of net assets in investments with significant exposure to real assets, with the goal written in inflation-adjusted terms.
- At 0.60% a year it undercuts the median allocation fund in its peer group, which is rare for an actively managed, thematically built portfolio.
- Names are chosen on fundamental screens for growth, momentum, quality and value, and the portfolio stays around 40 positions. You can actually read what you own.
- Plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper, quarterly distributions, and an overall standing in the upper half of its allocation cohort.
Worth knowing
- It trades lightly. Spreads can run wider than at the giant allocation funds, so order type matters more here than with a household-name ETF.
- Cheap for its cohort, not cheap outright: index-built peers such as IRTR (0.08%) and AOA (0.19%) charge a fraction. Active real-asset selection is what the extra buys.
- Roughly 40 holdings tied to real assets means commodity-cycle swings, and with no declared index the portfolio reflects the manager's calls rather than a published rulebook.
