About
A complex, signal-driven, multi-asset sector sorter that uses momentum, volatility, and drawdown filters across stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. It selects top candidates from groups like Tech, Utilities, Energy, Clean Energy, and Bonds, often with equal weighting, to build a diversified, risk-aware portfolio without a fixed calendar rebalance.
What this strategy does, in simple terms:
- It groups a wide set of ETFs and asset proxies (stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and some leverage/inverse bets) into sector-like blocks.
- Each block runs a small set of checks (momentum, volatility, drawdown, price trends) to decide whether those assets look attractive.
- The blocks produce a short list of top assets, often with equal weights among the picks in that block.
- Different blocks cover different market ideas (growth tech, defensive utilities, energy, clean energy, bonds, gold, oil, etc.) and regime-sensitive ideas (dollar strength vs normal bond markets).
- The combined picks from all blocks form the overall portfolio, aiming for diversification across sectors and risk controls rather than concentrating in a single bet.
- The system emphasizes correlation and momentum, seeking assets that behave well together (or hedge each other) to tame drawdowns while pursuing upside.
- Rebalancing is not fixed on a calendar; it’s a rules-based selection process that would be translated into holdings on whatever cadence the strategy implementation uses.
Key ideas in plain terms:
- Momentum: assets that have been doing well recently may continue to do so for a while.
- Risk control: watch out for big drops and high volatility; avoid assets that have too much risk unless they show compensating upside.
- Diversification: spread bets across many sectors/asset classes so a single bad day won’t wipe you out.
- Correlation awareness: choose assets that complement each other rather than move in lockstep, so the overall risk is lower while the return opportunity remains intact.
Out-of-sample tested multi-asset strategy that blends momentum, volatility control, and regime-aware diversification across stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies to target higher risk-adjusted returns with lower drawdowns than the S&P 500.
