WisdomTree 90/60 U.S. Price, Forecast, Insider, Ratings, Fundamentals & Signals

Equities and fixed income have been moving in tandem as inflation fears cast doubt on whether there will be any Fed rate cuts in 2024. The WisdomTree U.S. Efficient Core Fund ETF offers potential benefits for index investors when Treasury securities offset moves in the stock market, but we aren't seeing that today.

Core allocations – they're the bedrock of investor portfolios. With all sorts of big, indexed strategies out there that track the market, it can be tricky to innovate and offer an appealing spin in an ETF format.

NTSX is a leveraged balanced equity and treasury index ETF. The fund has significantly underperformed during the current inflationary environment. As economic conditions normalize, the fund should start to outperform.

Stocks tumbled in September, reaching a low for the year on Sept. 23. To borrow a term from legendary guru investor Charlie Munger (Trades, Portfolio), vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A , Financial)( BRK.B , Financial), this is a time for “cheerful pessimists.

I recently had the good fortune to sit down with Corey Hoffstein, co-founder and CIO of Newfound Research, to discuss return stacking and return stacking models, a more unique approach to investing in stocks, bonds, and alternatives that can provide more traditional beta-like returns while also generating alpha from managed futures or other alternatives. Hoffstein [.

Looking at where the Nasdaq stands, being both up 2% today but also down 27% YTD, VettaFi's Financial Futurist, Dave Nadig, was on hand on Yahoo Finance's “ETF Report” to discuss how he believes this market evolution will impact ETFs in general.

NTSX's methodology has soundly trounced the S&P 500 over the last several decades, especially during the 2000s. NTSX is likely best utilized in alpha-seeking strategies that try to capture the returns of a 60/40 portfolio, and then some.
