Method, definitions and disclosures

Methodology v1.3 · read it
Total return
Value at the end over value at the start, minus 1: distributions reinvested, each fund’s fees inside its price.
Annualised
(1 + total return) to the power 12 over the number of whole months, minus 1; from 12 months.
Volatility
Sample standard deviation of monthly returns, times the square root of 12; from 36 monthly returns.
Maximum drawdown
The largest fall from a peak to a later low, on daily values, with the dates of both.
Sharpe on T-bills
12 times the mean monthly return over the Treasury 13-week bill rate, over the square root of 12 times its standard deviation; from 36 months.
Turnover
The trading of the rebalances inside the window, a year, the start excluded.

The rule: 19% VLUE, 19% MTUM, 19% QUAL, 19% USMV, 19% VB and 5% US bonds (BND and AGG in equal parts), rebalanced on the last trading day of each month. The factor family’s rule, as the method states it: “x% stock sleeve, (100 - x)% the US bonds sleeve.” Methodology version 1.3; launched on Oct 3, 2026, when ETFIQ froze the family’s rule. Every weight follows from the rule and public facts.

Launched on Oct 3, 2026, when ETFIQ froze its rule. Figures before Oct 5, 2026 are hypothetical: today’s rule and funds applied to earlier prices, which is look-ahead. From Oct 5, 2026 the record is tracked, and a window that starts before it is hypothetical as a whole.

Total returns are market price with distributions reinvested, net of each fund’s own fees, with nothing else deducted. The price source does not carry funds that closed before 2016, so nothing here is free of survivorship bias. Data sourced by Tiingo.

Questions people ask about Factor, 95% stocks

What is ETFIQ Factor, 95% stocks?
A rules-based benchmark: 19% VLUE, 19% MTUM, 19% QUAL, 19% USMV, 19% VB and 5% US bonds (BND and AGG in equal parts), rebalanced on the last trading day of each month. ETFIQ publishes it to measure factor and smart-beta models with about 95% in stocks. It is not a fund and cannot be bought.
Is ETFIQ Factor, 95% stocks a recommendation?
No. It is a yardstick, the same for everyone, and every weight follows from a written rule and public facts. ETFIQ publishes no trades for it and takes no payment from the issuer of any fund it holds.
Why are some of its returns hypothetical?
ETFIQ froze the rule on Oct 3, 2026. Returns before Oct 5, 2026 apply today’s rule and funds to earlier prices, which is look-ahead; returns from that date are tracked. The price source does not carry funds that closed before 2016, so nothing here is free of survivorship bias.
