About
A daily-rebalanced, low-leverage, diversified multi-strategy portfolio that fuses momentum, mean-reversion, and hedging across equities, bonds, commodities, and volatility, designed to be lower beta and more resilient than a pure stock approach.
- Daily check: The system rebalance every day, adjusting the mix based on a large set of simple, rule-based modules.
- Modularity: Each module is a small if/then block that signals whether to own a particular asset or asset group and by how much. If a block fires, its weights contribute to the overall allocation; if not, its slot may stay in cash or be allocated to ballast assets.
- Ballast first: Several blocks act as ballast, favoring cash-like assets (short-term Treasuries and cash proxies) or hedges when volatility or risk signals rise. The goal is to keep the portfolio’s overall risk lower than a pure stock allocation.
- Diversified themes: The strategy spreads exposure across many baskets, including core equities, sectors, bonds, gold, oil/commodities, and volatility hedges. Even within equities, there are long and hedged or short ideas to temper risk.
- Signals in plain terms: Signals are built from simple, short windows (days to a few months) of price behavior, momentum, and mean-reversion checks. When a signal aligns across several blocks, its assets get weight in the overall mix.
- Short/defensive rotations: Some blocks implement short or protective exposures (e.g., SQQQ, PSQ, or heavy hedges) to defend against downturns or high volatility. These are offset by other blocks that push toward risk-on assets when conditions improve.
- Net exposure and risk budgeting: The design emphasizes a balanced, cash-friendly posture. Net exposures are kept modest to maintain the “low leverage, low beta” objective, with diversification across asset classes intended to reduce single-point risk.
- Practical takeaway for a layperson: On any given day you’ll see a mix that could include stock themes, bond/treasury ballast, a dash of gold/commodities, and some volatility hedges. The overall feeling should be steadier than owning a big stock-only portfolio, with the ability to shift toward risk-on when signals look favorable and towards safety when signals look weak.
Ballast-first, low‑beta, diversified strategy designed to trim downside and deliver steadier risk‑adjusted returns. OOS beta ~0.45; max drawdown ~4.7%; Calmar ~1.04. Lower correlation to SPY with daily rebalancing, aiming for resilience in choppy markets.
