About
A highly active, all-weather strategy that chases strong trends in tech, bonds, and commodities, but quickly shifts into hedges like volatility, gold, Treasuries, and inverse funds when markets look dangerous.
This strategy spreads money across several jobs: growth, crash defense, bonds, commodities, and currencies.
It watches whether markets are rising or falling, and whether moves are becoming too extreme. When tech is strong, it leans into aggressive Nasdaq and tech funds. When markets look overheated or unstable, it shifts toward volatility funds, inverse funds, bonds, gold, cash-like Treasury funds, or defensive sectors. It also runs separate trend rules for bonds, oil, gas, metals, agriculture, and major currencies.
Regime-switching strategy delivering superior out-of-sample results: ~22% annualized return vs 18.5% S&P, Sharpe ~1.38 vs ~1.09, Calmar ~1.81, max drawdown ~12.2% vs ~18.8%, beta ~0.64. More upside, less downside, smarter risk.
