About
A highly active, aggressive strategy that chases strong trends—mostly in tech—but rapidly rotates into hedges like bonds, gold, volatility funds, and managed futures when markets look risky.
This strategy is like a very busy traffic controller. It constantly checks whether major stock markets—especially tech—look too hot, too cold, calm, or dangerous. If stocks look strong, it often buys aggressive tech funds. If markets look stretched or shaky, it shifts into hedges like volatility funds, bonds, gold, managed futures, or cash-like holdings.
It spreads money across many mini-strategies, so at any time it may hold tech, Treasury bonds, gold, oil, or defensive funds depending on which area looks safest or strongest.
Out-of-sample: ~22.2% annualized return vs 18% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.26, beta ~0.48. Diversified upside with hedges and tech momentum; risk-managed, though drawdowns can rise in spikes. Strong long-run edge.
