DDX against the ETFIQ 30 to 50% benchmark

Holdings Jul 31, 2026 · prices Nov 4, 2026

*Hypothetical for Strategic 40: 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. DDX's first close is Sep 20, 2021, so its first whole calendar year is 2022.
