Frequently Asked Questions About AGGA

What does AGGA invest in?

The EA Astoria Dynamic Core US Fixed Income ETF (AGGA) proactively manages its primary fixed income holdings by utilizing third-party exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with investment decisions guided by thorough macroeconomic analysis.

The fund's advisors employ proprietary methodologies, influenced by market dynamics, interest rate trends, and credit risk assessments, to strategically adjust the portfolio with the aim of outperforming broad-based benchmarks. Typically comprising 5 to 15 underlying ETFs, the fund incorporates a mix of both actively and passively managed investment vehicles. Allocations are dynamically adjusted when warranted, with rebalancing performed no less frequently than monthly. Being a non-diversified fund, AGGA retains the ability to concentrate its assets within a limited number of securities.
