About
A daily switcher for Emerging Markets: go 3x long when EM looks weak but turning, go 3x short when it looks overheated, or hide in one defensive pick (bonds/staples) when risk looks high. Uses simple trend/overbought‑oversold gauges to decide.
Every day it checks simple signals to decide where to park money:
- If Emerging Markets look washed‑out, it buys a 3x EM bull fund (EDC).
- If they look too hot, it uses a 3x EM bear fund (EDZ).
- If signals look risk‑off (bonds beating stocks, defensives leading), it moves partly or fully into one “safe” pick (short/long bonds or consumer‑staples), choosing the one that fell most recently.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.94 vs S&P 0.58; annualized return ~61.9% vs ~6.25%; negative beta ~-0.44 adds diversification; Calmar ~4.36 shows strong risk-adjusted performance (note higher potential drawdowns in EM).
