RAA Nominated for ETF.com Award

Feb 2, 2026
Listen to Article:

We are pleased to announce that ETF.com has nominated SMI 3Fourteen REAL Asset Allocation ETF (RAA) as one of its five Best New Multi-Asset ETFs of 2025.

RAA was added as a significant allocation within SMI’s Dynamic Asset Allocation strategy last February. From its inception through Jan. 29, 2026, RAA outperformed a simple 60% stock, 40% bond benchmark +17.51% to +13.02%.

Here's how ETF.com describes RAA:

Background Information

Here's the introduction to the RAA strategy from the March 2024 issue of SMI.

And the ETF announcement from that same issue.

You can vote for RAA!

But admittedly, they don't make it especially easy. At the bottom of the ETF.com page linked at the top of this article, there's a voting link that enables you to vote for RAA in Category 10, the multi-asset category. Unfortunately, it requires you to either sign in using an existing LinkedIn account (if you have one) or register for a free login with ETF.com. Then you have to select an option in each of the 13 categories (even if you only want to vote for RAA in Category 10). A bit complicated, but it would be great for RAA to have a good showing in the voting!

The winners will be announced in March.
