About
Rules-based barbell from 17 mega-cap U.S. stocks: half in last year’s biggest gainers, half in the most stable (smallest worst drop). Equal-weighted across picks, minimal trading, no set rebalancing schedule.
Starts with 17 very large, well-known U.S. companies (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, Google, etc.).
Each time it makes picks, it looks back 1 year and builds two lists: (1) the 5 stocks that rose the most; (2) the 5 with the smallest “worst drop” from a prior high. It then splits money roughly equally across these picks. If a stock is on both lists, it may get a bigger slice. It doesn’t rebalance on a schedule.
Rules-based barbell on 17 mega-cap stocks blends momentum with defensives, held with minimal turnover. Out-of-sample Calmar ~1.12 and beta ~0.90 offer strong risk-adjusted returns and lower market sensitivity vs the S&P.
