GAAACambria Global Asset Allocation ETF

INCEAFranklin Income Equity Focus ETF

In short

GAA One ticket for the global market portfolio: about 30 exchange-traded funds covering world stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities and currencies, with value and momentum screens shaping the mix, at 0.32% all in.

INCE Franklin's income playbook run through stocks instead of bonds: roughly 100 equity-focused positions, monthly payouts, and an objective that targets lower volatility than the S&P 500, at a fee well under the typical allocation fund.

Stated mandate

GAA The Fund seeks to preserve and grow capital through a diversified portfolio spanning global stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. It uses a quantitative, buy-and-hold approach across global asset classes, including value and momentum exposures.

INCE The Fund seeks income from equity securities and related instruments while also pursuing capital appreciation and lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index.

Why people hold it

  • GAA At 0.32%, it sits below the typical allocation ETF, and below Cambria's other all-in-one fund, Trinity (TRTY), at 0.39%.
  • One holding reaches across global equities, fixed income, real estate, commodities and currencies, built from other exchange-traded funds rather than single names.sec.gov
  • Running since December 2014, it carries a decade-plus live record and stands among the stronger builds in the allocation group. Pays quarterly.
  • INCE 0.29% a year, less than half what the typical allocation fund charges.
  • Income is the job, and it shows up monthly. The mandate also lets managers move across debt and equity markets rather than sit in one lane.
  • The stated goal is not yield alone: income, capital appreciation, and lower volatility than the S&P 500 are all written into the objective.
  • Undercuts its multi-asset sibling INCM (0.38%) on fee, and sits among the stronger names in a crowded allocation field.

Worth knowing

  • GAA It is one of the less-traded funds in its category, so bid/ask spreads can run wider than the giant one-ticket allocation funds.
  • Commodities and currencies sit alongside the stocks and bonds, so the ride can look nothing like a plain 60/40 blend in either direction.sec.gov
  • A fund of funds by design, holding both affiliated Cambria ETFs and outside ones, and actively managed since its 2019 switch from tracking Cambria's own index.sec.govsec.gov 2
  • INCE Small and lightly traded next to the giants of its category, so spreads can widen. Limit orders are the norm here.
  • Distributions may include return of capital, so part of a monthly payout can be your own money coming back.
  • Equity-forward by design. The aim is a smoother ride than the S&P 500, not bond-like steadiness.
