About
Quarterly-rotating, multi-asset strategy blending momentum, mean reversion, and hedging. It mixes stocks, sectors, bonds, gold/commodities, and selective levered bets, updating allocations every quarter to seek growth with risk controls.
- What it is: a quarterly, rules-based portfolio that rotates among a broad mix of assets (stocks, sectors, bonds, gold/commodities, and some levered hedged bets).
- Signals used: momentum and trend (how strong price moves have been recently), mean reversion (tendency to revert to average prices), volatility/hedging signals (when to add protection).
- How decisions are made: the system ranks assets by recent performance over different windows and selects top or bottom performers for inclusion, often grouping assets by theme (diversifiers, leverage, dynamic sector/treasury mean reversion, etc.). It assigns weights per sleeve (some blocks use fixed cash-like weights, others use percent allocations).
- Rollout: every quarter, the engine recalculates, reweights, and rebalances to the new targets.
- Why it might work: diversification across asset classes aims to capture broad market uptrends while having hedges to dampen downside risks; leveraging can boost upside in strong trends, but only with strict risk controls.
- What RSI is (briefly): RSI stands for relative strength index. It’s a momentum gauge that compares upward versus downward moves to indicate whether an asset has been quietly rising, overbought, or due for a pause. In this strategy, RSI-like signals help decide when to tilt toward risk-on exposures (like tech/large-cap stocks) or pull back toward hedges.
- Important caveats: complexity, daily resetting of levered ETFs, and the risk that multiple signals can conflict; the framework relies on historical patterns that may not persist.
Bottom line for a layman: this is a quarterly, diversified, rules-based plan that tries to go with the strongest trends and sector rotations, while keeping cushions (gold, bonds, hedges) in place to weather tougher markets. It uses a lot of familiar names (SPY, QQQ, XLK, VDE, IEF) plus some hedges and a few leveraged bets to capture bigger moves when the signal says so.
Out-of-sample evidence shows this quarterly strategy outperforms the S&P 500: higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~1.38 vs ~1.20), much higher annualized return (~36% vs ~22%), and lower max drawdown (~16.5% vs ~18.8%), with hedges.
