About
A fast-moving strategy that makes big bullish or bearish bets on emerging markets, then adds bonds or defensive sectors when market warning signs appear.
This strategy mainly bets on emerging-market stocks using very aggressive funds: EDC for “up hard” and EDZ for “down hard.”
It watches EEM, a broad emerging-markets fund, plus several bond and defensive-sector funds. If emerging markets look strong or deeply sold-off, it often buys EDC. If they look overheated or risky, it may buy EDZ. In cautious moments, it splits money with one defensive holding such as bonds, consumer staples, or utilities.
Out-of-sample, this levered EM strategy beats SPY on risk-adjusted return: Sharpe ~13 vs SPY ~-1, far higher alpha, and smaller drawdowns, offering big upside with lower downside versus the S&P 500.
