QDSNX - A Fund for Retirees?

13»

Comments

  • Another fund to put on your radar is ARCIX— the AQR Risk balanced commodities strategy fund. Up 1.24% today and 10% over the last month. It was also up 21% in 2022 and 17% annual returns over the past 5 years. Looks to be a good inflation hedge.
  • QDSNX has shown itself again to be quite a steady performer, even on days like today when the market turned ugly.

    For example:
    QDSNX +0.1%
    VWELX -1.1
    PRWCX -1.1
    S&P 500 -1.6

    So far, so good.

  • Another market neutral fund, VMNFX (down -.14% today) has actually outperformed QDSNX by approx. 3% annualized over the past 3 years (15.6% vs. 12.6%) with same SD (7.3). Looks like Vanguard had changed up the Portfolio Mgr around 3 years ago.

    Happy with QDSNX, it has performed admirably. One of these funds feels like enough.
  • Since QDSNX is a fund of funds, I'm wondering if any of the perspicacious folks around here have broken down which of the constituent funds are adding the most to recent returns. I also wonder how they have fared since COVID.
