AOR tracks a proprietary index that provides exposure to equity securities, while also investing in fixed income, striking a balance between capital preservation, appreciation, and income.

iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF offers a diversified, balanced portfolio with a 60% equity and 40% fixed income allocation, ideal for moderate risk tolerance. AOR's historical performance shows lower volatility and drawdowns compared to a 100% S&P 500 portfolio, making it suitable for risk-averse investors. With a low expense ratio of 0.15% and a 2.44% quarterly dividend, AOR provides cost-effective, passive global investment exposure.

AOR: Passive Fund For Investors With Moderate Risk Tolerance

iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF has a balanced portfolio of fixed income and equity funds. AOR has yet to reach its price peak from late 2021, while the S&P 500 index has already surpassed its peak. AOR is not a growth-oriented fund and is likely to underperform the S&P 500 index in the long run.

Market volatility roared back in recent weeks on growing inflation worries, the uncertain timing of Fed rate cuts and escalating geopolitical tension in the Middle East. The combination of these factors has made investors jittery, compelling them to revisit their portfolios.

5 Defensive Investment ETF Strategies for Your Portfolio

iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF has a 60/40 allocation in global equities and bonds through ETFs. Exposure to foreign securities implies some currency risk, which has been detrimental since the fund's inception in 2008. Among competitors, WisdomTree U.S. Efficient Core Fund implements a 60/40 strategy with a 1.5 leveraging factor and about 98% of assets in U.S. issuers.

AOR: Not The Most Capital-Efficient 60/40 ETF

The iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF is a good option for investors looking for a straightforward way to build a diversified portfolio centered on growth. AOR utilizes iShares ETFs to create a 60/40 stock/bond asset allocation strategy, which has performed well despite media coverage of its poor performance. AOR's performance has been solid since its inception, with a lower degree of price fluctuation compared to traditional equity ETFs. It is suitable for investors with a longer-term investment horizon.

AOR: 60/40 Looks Appealing Again

iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF ultimately has a lot of exposure to correlated monetary policies in the West that are all leaning hawkish. U.S. market returns have been driven almost exclusively by AI and the biggest of tech stocks which are exposed to hawkish policies. While inflation data will show abating figures, jobs data was strong and inflation not only has to come down but it has to do so quickly for Fed satisfaction.

The iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (AOR) is an exchange traded fund that provides an investor with the return profile of the classic 60/40 portfolio allocation. AOR is down more than -16% in 2022, almost matching the S&P 500 performance.

AOR: The Viability Of The 60/40 Portfolio In Today's Environment

The classic 60/40 portfolio has received a great deal of criticism, and for a good reason. Bonds-heavy portfolios generally have lower volatility and less deep drawdowns, but they lag IVV anyway, delivering sluggish risk-adjusted returns.
