Recommendation
AVOID
Not worthwhile for most investors. A rating of AVOID is assigned to ETFs with ALTAR Scores in the lowest quintile (the bottom 20%) of their category. Often, funds in this category consist of stocks with little if any history or expectation of profitability, and as a result our fundamentally-driven analysis may be less relevant.
Category Overview
There are 899 funds in the US category, with an average ALTAR Score™
of 5.7% and a standard deviation of
2.4%. JFWD's ALTAR Score™ is approximately
2.4 standard deviations
below
the category average. This places JFWD in the 1st percentile among funds in the category.
