About
A daily-rebalanced, rule-based, all-weather strategy that diversifies across stocks, bonds, commodities, gold, and oil, using momentum/price signals to pick assets and a cash ballast to manage risk. It aims to perform in many regimes but is complex and may underperform simple stock indices in some periods.
- It spreads money across several big groups: Equities, Bonds, Commodities, Gold, and Oil, with a ballast cash layer.
- Within each group, it runs simple, rule‑based checks to decide whether to own a specific asset. These checks rely on momentum and price trends (for example, comparing short‑term momentum to longer‑term price levels, or checking if a short‑term momentum indicator is high).
- If a rule fires, the system buys or increases exposure to that asset; if not, it stays in cash or moves elsewhere.
- There are hedges and ballast pieces (like VIXY for volatility exposure, BIL as a cash proxy, and other hedged/alternative components) to temper risk during tougher markets.
- Rebalancing happens daily, so the position mix can shift day to day as signals change.
- The asset list includes well-known tickers (SPY, QQQ, GLD, SLV, etc.) and more specialized funds (FTLT, TMF, TMV, DBC, UCO) to cover stocks, bonds, commodities, and energy. The intent is to blend trend-following and diversification to smooth returns across market regimes, rather than rely on a single market driver.
Diversified, rule-based multi-asset strategy with hedges. Out-of-sample, it delivers low market beta (~0.31), ~5% drawdown, Calmar ~3.8, and meaningful upside—offering risk control and diversification alongside SPY.
