Read MoreHide Full Article

For investors seeking momentum, Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF (BOXX - Free Report) is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and rose 4.39% from its 52-week low price of $109.62/share.

But, are there more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook to get a better idea of where it might head:

BOXX in Focus

Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF is an options-based alternative to an ultrashort-duration bond position, providing access to “box spread” market. 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. The product charges 19 bps in annual fees (See: All Derivative-Based ETFs).

Why the Move?

The short-term corner of the Treasury market has been an area to watch lately, given the current stock market volatility. A rise in economic uncertainty, driven by concerns about valuations, a potential AI bubble and waning hopes, has pushed investors toward cash-like assets to mitigate risk, providing a tailwind for the fund.  

More Gains Ahead?

BOXX might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 4.22 (as per Barchart.com), which gives cues of a further rally.
