It carries an overall rank of #88 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 71.8 out of 100. The fund offers a low expense ratio of 0.08% while providing a dividend yield of 2.57%. The combination of substantial assets under management and a competitive expense ratio suggests significant investor adoption relative to the category size. This positioning places the fund as a mid-tier performer in terms of ranking while maintaining a cost structure that supports its broad appeal.

Short-term returns show strong momentum, with the fund gaining +2.18% over one day and +1.44% over one week. Monthly performance accelerated further to +5.13%, followed by a robust three-month return of +10.03%. The upward trend continued into the half-year mark with a +21.10% gain, while year-to-date returns reached +23.45%. Over the past year, the fund delivered a +23.80% return, and the three-year horizon shows a cumulative return of +44.39%. The data indicates a consistent pattern of positive performance across all measured timeframes, with the three-year figure reflecting sustained growth over the longer term.

The fund is assigned a Low volatility label and exhibits a beta of 0.98, indicating price movements that generally align with or slightly trail the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.34 suggests the fund has generated a favorable risk-adjusted return relative to its volatility. Despite the positive risk metrics, the fund experienced a maximum drawdown of -18.70% during the tracked period. This combination of low volatility and a beta near unity implies the fund tends to move in tandem with market directions without extreme amplification. The Sharpe ratio and drawdown figures together illustrate a profile where returns have historically compensated well for the level of downside risk encountered.

USRT Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.10% and average daily volume is 523K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $4.36B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: USRT is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
