BAMA against the ETFIQ 50 to 70% benchmark

Holdings Aug 31, 2026 · prices Nov 4, 2026

BAMA holds 68.1% stocks, which places it in the 50 to 70% band with 28 other allocation ETFs. Its benchmark is ETFIQ Strategic 60. Over the year to Oct 30, 2026 BAMA returned +6.54% against +7.33%, 0.79 points behind.

*Hypothetical for Strategic 60: the window begins before Oct 3, 2026, when ETFIQ froze the rule. The difference needs both numbers. Drawdowns are on daily values, volatility from monthly returns.

*Hypothetical: the year begins before Oct 3, 2026, when ETFIQ froze the benchmark's rule. The band is the funds in it today, each measured in the years it existed; a year with fewer than 10 of them has no percentile. BAMA's first close is Sep 28, 2023, so its first whole calendar year is 2024.
