Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

LFEQBVanEck Long/Flat Trend ETF

WAMAAWisdomTree US Adaptive Moving Average Fund

In short

LFEQ Trend following in an ETF wrapper: LFEQ tracks a Ned Davis Research index that uses daily signals to shift between US large-cap stocks and Treasury bills, trimming equity when the tape weakens. Live since 2017, priced below its peer median.

WAMA No data

Stated mandate

LFEQ The fund seeks to track the price and yield performance of the Ned Davis Research CMG US Large Cap Long/Flat Index. The index uses daily signals to vary exposure between U.S. equities and Treasury bills, seeking participation in advances while limiting losses in declines.

WAMA No data

Why people hold it

  • LFEQ 0.58% a year, against a median near 0.95% for tactical multi-asset funds. Rules-based risk management usually costs more than this.
  • The de-risking is mechanical, not discretionary: daily index signals move exposure between US equities and T-bills. No manager's gut call on when to step aside.
  • Trading since 2017, so the signal has run through live markets and real drawdowns rather than a backtest.

WAMA No data

Worth knowing

  • LFEQ Trend rules follow price, not forecasts. A sharp V-shaped rebound can get underway while the index is still sitting in Treasury bills.
  • It stays a small, thinly traded fund, which typically means wider bid-ask spreads than a mainstream large-cap index ETF.
  • Cheaper than tactical peers TUGN (0.65%) and PWS (0.60%), though ENDW (0.22%) and ONOF (0.39%) run leaner.
