About
80% core in income‑focused US stocks (JEPI) and diversifying managed‑futures (DBMF). A 20% sleeve buys leveraged tech (TQQQ) only when QQQ’s trend is up; otherwise that 20% stays in the core. Rebalanced monthly.
Each month it holds a core: 40% JEPI (large US stocks using options to pay income, steadier than the market) and 40% DBMF (trend‑following futures across rates, currencies, and commodities that diversify stocks). The last 20% is tactical: it buys TQQQ (a 3× version of the tech‑heavy QQQ index) only when QQQ’s average price over the last 20 days is above its 150‑day average—a simple sign of an uptrend. Otherwise that 20% is added back to JEPI and DBMF.
Out-of-sample edge: ~20.5% annualized return, Calmar ~1.23, max drawdown ~16.7%, beta ~0.86. A diversified core (income + managed futures) with a trend-driven tech tilt offers steadier, higher risk-adjusted gains vs. the S&P 500.
