RPAR Risk Parity ETF's heavy fixed-income allocations have acted as a headwind, causing the fund to underperform. Looking forward, I worry the fund's allocation strategy may be based on historical data since 2000 that is biased towards bonds. However, I believe there are structural reasons inflation and interest rates will be secularly higher in the coming years, which would prove to be detrimental to RPAR.
RPAR ETF aims to generate positive returns during economic growth, preserve capital during economic contraction, and preserve real rates of return during inflation. Diversification and rebalancing boost are key factors in achieving equity-like returns with less risk. RPAR has underperformed expectations due to the higher correlation of commodity producer stocks with both equities and gold, and poor bond performance.
The RPAR ETF is a convenient way to access risk-parity strategies. The RPAR ETF's design was flawed, as it had a heavy weight in TIPS bonds that was expected to go up in inflationary environments.
