- RPAR Risk Parity ETF (RPAR) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that employs a risk parity strategy to allocate assets across global equities, U.S. Treasury bonds, commodities including gold, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS); it invests directly and through derivatives such as futures contracts and exchange-traded funds like Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), SPDR Gold MiniShares (GLDM), Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO), and Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA), with top holdings including Ultra US Treasury Bond Futures, 10-Year Treasury Note Futures, and U.S. Treasury Bills, aiming to balance risk contributions from each asset class for comparable risk and return profiles, generate positive returns in economic growth, preserve capital in contractions, and maintain real returns amid inflation. Launched on December 13, 2019, and domiciled in the United States with operational offices at 234 West Florida Street, Suite 203, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the ETF is issued by Tidal ETF Trust (Tidal Trust I), managed by Tidal Investments LLC (formerly Toroso Investments, LLC) with sub-advisory from Advanced Research Investment Solutions (ARIS), and tracks a proprietary risk parity index while benchmarking against the S&P 500 Total Return Index and blends including the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund serves investors seeking diversified, all-weather exposure to multi-asset classes with quarterly rebalancing, lower volatility than equities (beta of 0.72), quarterly dividend payouts, and a gross expense ratio of approximately 0.53%, targeting institutional and retail markets globally through NYSE Arca listing. In recent developments, RPAR surpassed USD 1 billion in assets under management within its first year by early 2021, reflecting strong inflows amid market volatility; it continues operations under Tidal Investments with ARIS influence, including the related launch of UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF for leveraged exposure; and as of mid-2025, it maintains a portfolio of over 100 holdings totaling around USD 553 million in net assets, with ongoing resilience noted in analyses amid bond yield improvements and policy shifts.
