FXED against the ETFIQ 15 to 30% benchmark

Holdings Aug 31, 2026 · prices Nov 4, 2026

FXED holds 24.5% stocks, which places it in the 15 to 30% band with 6 other allocation ETFs. Its benchmark is ETFIQ Strategic 20. Over the year to Oct 30, 2026 FXED returned −2.74% against +2.33%, 5.07 points behind.

*Hypothetical for Strategic 20: 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. FXED's first close is Dec 31, 2020, so its first whole calendar year is 2021.
