The Astoria Real Assets ETF (PPI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund with a core objective: to invest across diverse asset classes designed to perform favorably during periods of increasing costs for goods and services, commonly known as inflation. The fund's holdings typically encompass equity stakes in companies operating within sectors particularly sensitive to inflation, such as energy, financials, industrials, and materials. Furthermore, it may allocate capital to other ETFs that provide exposure to commodities or fixed income instruments. This fund maintains a non-diversified investment approach.
