AOK: The Conservative ETF Preserving Capital Amid Market Volatility

iShares Core Conservative Allocation ETF (AOK) has returned 9.2% over one year compared to 14.1% for the S&P 500, preserving capital with minimal drawdown. The fund maintains a 70% bond and 30% equity split with a low 0.15% expense ratio and $744M in net assets. Rising Treasury yields have compressed bond valuations, but AOK's defensive strategy has proved valuable in a volatile market.
