Our read on TBFG
BA one-ticket growth allocation that hands the wheel to three adviser-built strategies instead of a fixed stock/bond split, spanning US and international funds at roughly half the cost of the typical allocation ETF.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. It systematically allocates among three adviser-developed strategies that rebalance underlying funds using proprietary risk-management techniques.
Why people hold it
- 0.42% a year against a 0.78% median for allocation funds. Unusually lean for something actively steered rather than tracking a set glidepath.
- Three in-house strategies rebalance the underlying funds using the adviser's own risk techniques. You are outsourcing the allocation calls, not just security selection.
- The portfolio lines up closely with the long-term growth mandate written in its prospectus, and that consistency ranks among the stronger showings in its allocation peer group.
- Reaches across US and international markets in one wrapper, pays quarterly, and has pulled in serious assets since its 2024 launch.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded. Spreads can widen when markets move fast, so the price on the screen deserves more attention than it would with a giant index fund.
- Cheap for active, not cheap outright. Index allocation funds such as AOA (0.19%) and IRTR (0.08%) charge a fraction of this.
- Launched in 2024, so the track record is short, and the three strategies are proprietary. You get the outcome, not the recipe.
