About
A daily-rebalanced, highly rules-based mix of momentum picks across levered ETFs and hedging assets. It separates growth and defense into groups, ranks top performers on multiple lookbacks, rotates among them with equal intra-group weights, and layers in volatility and bond hedges to curb risk. Aimed at capturing upside while limiting drawdowns, it carries substantial complexity and levered risk.
- Every day the fund rebalances.
- It splits its universe into groups that represent different bets (e.g., All-Star Sorts as core momentum across leveraged ETFs; Defense as hedges and safe assets; a biotech-tech focus in BT; other groups look at global or sector themes).
- Within each group it ranks assets by momentum measures (moving-average returns, cumulative returns, etc.) over several looking windows (short and long, from about 5 days to 360 days). The top few assets are selected (often the top 1).
- Within each group the selected assets are given full weight (equal weighting across the chosen assets in that group).
- Across groups, the system allocates across the sleeve signals so the total portfolio is a mix of growth-leaning bets and hedges.
- It uses leveraged/inverse ETFs to magnify exposure to favorable trends, and volatility and bond-related ETFs to hedge against market drawdowns, spikes in volatility, or regime shifts.
- The risk overlay uses measures like standard deviation of returns and drawdown thresholds to prune or adjust positions, ensuring the strategy has a risk-control layer.
- The strategy is multi-asset: equities (levered ETFs), volatility exposure (UVXY/VIXY), bonds (TLT, TMF/TMV, AGG, SHY, IEF), commodity/other exposures (DBC, GLD, EWZ, EEM, LABU/LABD, etc.), and cash proxies (BIL).
- The target is to chase upside in trending assets while protecting against downturns with volatility and fixed-income hedges, resulting in a portfolio that can perform in a variety of market regimes but requires tolerance for complexity and levered risk.
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers higher upside (27.1% vs 21.9%) with lower market beta and built-in hedges, though it incurs larger drawdowns (41.6%). Suitable for growth-seekers who tolerate volatility for extra returns.
