About
A daily-rebalanced, trend-following strategy: if SPY is above its 200-day average, spread capital across 10 global equity assets using inverse-volatility weights; if not, move entirely into the short-term bond ETF BIL for safety.
- Daily rebalance.
- Start with a cash-equal allocation idea: distribute money evenly across the selected assets before applying the risk-based weights.
- Market condition check: compare SPY’s current price to its 200-day moving average.
- If SPY is above its 200-day average (bullish signal): allocate to the 10 assets using inverse-volatility weighting over a 50-day window. Inverse-volatility means steadier assets receive larger shares and more volatile ones get smaller shares.
- If SPY is not above its 200-day average (bearish signal): shift the entire allocation to BIL, a short-term Treasury ETF, as a defensive move.
- The listed assets for the bullish branch are: AEM, AMAT, BHP, GE Aerospace, GLW, IEMG, LIN, UNP, VEA, VXUS.
- In short: use a trend filter (SPY vs 200-day MA) to switch between a diversified, low-volatility tilt across global equities and a safe-haven bond position, rebalanced daily.
- All assets fall under the EQUITIES category when in the equity mode; the defensive mode uses BIL as the vehicle for safety.
- The “New Yearly Highs” label is just a name; the core logic is the timing test plus inverse-vol weighting among 10 global equity-like instruments.
Out-of-sample results show this strategy delivers better risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500, with lower drawdowns and smoother volatility thanks to trend-driven shifts to bonds and inverse-vol tilts across 10 global assets.
