About
An all‑weather, rules‑based portfolio that rotates among stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, the U.S. dollar, and hedges. It rides uptrends, buys select tech dips, and uses rate and volatility signals to cut risk. Uses some leveraged ETFs; rebalances daily.
The portfolio spreads money across several sleeves that adapt to the market.
- In stable growth, it owns stocks (often tech; sometimes 3x versions).
- If rates rise or markets wobble, it rotates to the dollar, gold, staples, bonds, or even short funds.
- Signals: trend (price vs 200‑day average), momentum (recent winners), RSI (a “hot/cold” meter), and volatility guide the switches.
It rebalances daily.
All-weather, rules-based strategy with an out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.73 vs 1.35, returns 23.4% vs 21.6%, max drawdown 12% vs 18.8%, Calmar 1.95, beta ~0.63. Higher risk-adjusted growth than the S&P 500.
