Our read on QPX
DA one-ticker tactical mix: it owns other ETFs across stocks, bonds, commodities and volatility products, pursuing equity-like growth until implied volatility turns abnormal, then shifting defensive. Actively run, and priced like it.
The Fund seeks long-term growth. It actively allocates among ETFs spanning equities, bonds, commodities, volatility products and other asset classes, normally pursuing equity-like returns but moving defensively when implied volatility is abnormal.
Why people hold it
- Stocks, bonds, commodities and volatility products in a single holding, with a manager free to move the mix instead of sitting in a fixed allocation.advisorshares.com
- The defense switch is written into the mandate, not the marketing: abnormal implied volatility is the documented cue to move the portfolio defensively.advisorshares.com
- Trading since December 2020, so there is a multi-year live record to inspect instead of a backtest.advisorshares.com
Worth knowing
- The 1.76% annual fee is a heavy lift. Tactical cohort peers such as ENDW (0.22%) and ONOF (0.39%) charge a fraction of it.
- Small and thinly traded, so spreads can be wide and a big order can move the price. Limit orders are the norm here.
- No published benchmark to measure it against, so results ride on one team's volatility read rather than a rule you can check yourself.
