- Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF (RDFI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return with an emphasis on current income through dynamic exposure to global fixed income asset classes. The fund primarily invests in closed-end funds (CEFs) trading at discounts or premiums to net asset value, short-term instruments such as the SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF, currency futures like USD/CNH PH futures, and select individual securities including AGNC Investment Corp.; its portfolio features diversified holdings across emerging markets debt (e.g., Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt Fund Inc., Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Domestic Debt Fund Inc.), multi-sector income (e.g., Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund), municipal credit (e.g., Nuveen Municipal Credit Income Fund, Nuveen Quality Municipal Income Fund), high yield (e.g., Western Asset High Income Fund II Inc., PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund), preferred income (e.g., First Trust Intermediate Duration Preferred & Income Fund), and real assets income (e.g., Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc.). A proprietary valuation model selects the least expensive CEFs within each category, complemented by a risk overlay utilizing options market expertise for protection against volatility or interest rate spikes, and a dividend capture strategy to enhance income.
RDFI was launched on October 21, 2020, and lists on the Cboe BZX exchange under the Collaborative Investment Series Trust, with Rareview Capital LLC serving as investment adviser. Rareview Capital LLC, founded in 2016 and headquartered at 1980 Festival Plaza Drive in Las Vegas, Nevada, acts as ETF sponsor and sub-advisor, managing total assets under management of approximately $288 million across investment vehicles including RDFI, which reported net assets of around $58.57 million as of recent data. The firm focuses on goals-based strategies across fixed income segments, targeting financial advisors, platform managers, institutional clients, and high-net-worth individuals seeking reliable monthly distributions, diversification into specialized less-liquid assets, and tactical adjustments amid market opportunities and risks.
Recent developments include sustained asset growth, with Rareview Capital's ETFs collectively surpassing $100 million in assets under management by late 2021, reflecting ongoing inflows and market traction; as of Q3 2025 fact sheets, RDFI maintains a blended approach emphasizing structural, tactical, and idiosyncratic fixed income opportunities with enhanced hedging flexibility. No major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or strategic reorganizations have been announced for RDFI or Rareview Capital in the last 1-2 years, underscoring stable operations amid a focus on portfolio optimization and monthly distributions as of December 2025. The fund operates globally, with holdings spanning U.S. municipals, emerging markets, Asia-Pacific income, and high-yield opportunities, listed and traded in USD.
