About
A rules-based, non‑US stock mix with big tilts to Israel, India, Saudi/UAE, and Argentina, plus SE Asia/Korea and a small style sleeve (value, momentum, quality). Rebalanced quarterly to stay on target and diversify sectors and regions.
It puts fixed percentages into non‑US stock funds, then rebalances each quarter. Big sleeves: Israel 15% (IZRL 60%, ITEQ 40%); India 20% (IMVP 60%; NDIA/GLIN/SMIN/INDY/INDH split the rest); Middle East 15% (KSA, UAE equally); Factors 10% (IVLU 20%, IMTM 40%, IQLT 40%). Plus ARGT 15%; ASEA/EWY/EWM share 10%; ENZL 5%; TBLU 5%; EWC 2.5%; EPOL 2.5%. Value=cheaper, Momentum=recent winners, Quality=financially strong.
Out-of-sample data show this Global ex-US strategy delivers diversified alpha vs the S&P 500 through high-conviction bets (Israel/India/MENA) and factor sleeves, with disciplined quarterly rebalancing and lower correlation.
