SPDR SSgA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF

RLY is an actively-managed fund that attempts to hedge against inflation by investing in funds with exposure to real estate, commodities, TIPS and natural resources companies.

Asset allocation is still important despite recent performance trends. SPDR® SSgA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF offers a mix of asset class exposure for real returns. The RLY ETF focuses on inflation-protected securities, real estate securities, commodities, and infrastructure companies.

RLY: A Nice Allocation Fund

RLY is a small fund with exposure to commodities and infrastructure companies, plus other inflation-protected securities. The ETF lacks the diversification benefits of RPAR and is more focused on assets that perform well during periods of inflation.

RLY: More Of A Cyclical Play Than A Portfolio Diversifier

SPDR® SSgA Multi-Asset Real Return ETF is an actively managed fund of funds aiming at excess return over inflation. The RLY fund provides exposure to inflation-protected securities, real estate securities, commodities, infrastructure companies, and natural resources and commodity businesses. Performance and risk metrics since 2012 are underwhelming, but RLY has outperformed other multi-asset ETFs in the inflationary environment of the last 3 years.

RLY: Multi-Asset ETF Beating Peers For 3 Years

Inflation has cooled but may rise again in the future, making an investment in a real asset ETF like RLY a smart idea. TIPS have not performed well as an inflation hedge due to rising real interest rates. RLY is an actively managed ETF that is currently performing well and is in a long-term uptrend.

RLY: Still A Good Idea

RLY invests in a diversified portfolio of inflation-hedge ETFs. The fund tends to outperform when inflation is high, underperform when it is low.

RLY Remains An Effective Inflation Hedge, But Is Not A Buy Under Current Conditions

RLY provides exposure to natural resource equities, commodities, and infrastructure assets that should do well in an inflationary environment. In recent months, headline inflation has eased, prompting calls for a 'soft landing'.

Good, but not as well as hoped. Inflation-hedge ETFs have generally been successful in minimizing losses during the current inflationary environment, less so at generating positive returns.
