- SMI 3Fourteen REAL Asset Allocation ETF (RAA) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through diversified allocations across stocks, bonds, and alternatives using a proprietary REAL Asset Allocation (RAA) strategy developed by 3Fourteen Research, LLC. The fund employs monthly proprietary trend ranking, machine-learning-based optimizations, and hierarchical risk parity to select and weight securities within each asset class, overweighting the strongest assets while maintaining diversification; core holdings include BNY Mellon US Large Cap Core Equity ETF (BKLC), iM DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF (DBMF), Schwab High Yield Bond ETF (SCYB), Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC), and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT), with current asset allocations of approximately 44% equities, 27% fixed income, and 29% alternatives as of December 2025. RAA trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker RAA with a net expense ratio of 0.85%, part of the 3FourteenSMI family that also includes the Full-Cycle Trend ETF (FCTE).
The ETF launched on February 26, 2025, as a series of ETF Opportunities Trust, co-managed by 3Fourteen & SMI Advisory Services, LLC, a partnership combining 3Fourteen Research's quantitative models with SMI Advisory Services' fund management expertise tied to the Sound Mind Investing newsletter founded in 1990. In a key recent development, the fund achieved total net assets of approximately $453 million with 17.3 million shares outstanding by late 2025, reflecting rapid growth and investor adoption since inception amid strong year-to-date performance of over 12%. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts beyond the launch and companion FCTE ETF in mid-2024 have been reported in the past two years.
