GAAACambria Global Asset Allocation ETF

UCBGAState Street SPDR UC Investments 90/10 Endowment Strategy Index 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.

UCBG No data

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.

UCBG No data

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.

UCBG No data

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
