For investors seeking momentum, Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF BOXX is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 4.7% from its 52-week low price of $106.69/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed:
BOXX in Focus
Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF is an options-based alternative to an ultrashort-duration bond position. It seeks to provide investment results that equal or exceed the price and yield performance of an investment that tracks the 1-3-month sector of the United States Treasury Bill market. Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF charges 19 bps in annual fees (see: all the Long-Short ETFs here).
Why the Move?
The short-term corner of the Treasury market has been an area to watch lately, given the current stock market volatility. The flip-flop tariff policies have raised uncertainty about the global economy, compelling investors to hoard cash. As such, the appeal for cash-like ETFs has been on the rise as investors seek to mitigate the risk of a decline in the stock market.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, BOXX might continue its strong performance, given its weighted alpha of 4.60 and a low 20-day volatility of 0.37%, per barchart.com.
