TUG: Promising Methodology, Weak Performance So Far
TUG's active, risk-on/risk-off strategy aims for risk-adjusted growth but has underperformed in both bull and bear markets so far. The ETF's current portfolio is heavily concentrated in equities, mirroring the NDX, and lacks meaningful Treasury allocation despite market signals. Performance data shows TUG fails to effectively manage drawdowns or outperform major indices, undermining its core investment thesis.
