The First Trust Alternative Absolute Return Strategy ETF (FAAR) employs an active long-short commodities strategy aiming for positive returns in any market condition. Currently, it holds a +54% net long exposure and dynamically adjusts its commodity futures positions. Despite this flexibility, FAAR has underperformed similar funds over the past five years, showing higher volatility at 11.2% standard deviation and carrying a relatively high expense ratio of 0.97%. Analysts rate it as a 'hold' because it delivers positive returns but lags behind better-managed competitors like COM and SDCI.
