About
A diversified, “best risk-for-return” portfolio: stocks, Treasuries, gold, real estate, and a long U.S. dollar stake—plus a tech/Nasdaq sleeve that switches between 2x long, 2x short, or T‑Bills based on simple recent‑move and regime signals.
- 40% stocks: ~34% in a tech/Nasdaq sleeve that switches based on simple “speed” gauges of recent moves (RSI). If tech is overheated, it briefly bets against Nasdaq; if washed out, it buys a 2x long Nasdaq fund; if tech weakens vs defensive sectors for ~6 months, it parks in T‑Bills; otherwise it stays 2x long. ~6% in broad international stocks.
- 20% U.S. Treasuries (mix of short, intermediate, long, and inflation‑protected).
- 15% gold.
- 5% U.S. real estate (REITs).
- 20% long U.S. dollar.
This blend aims for strong returns per unit of risk via diversification and a tech‑led timing overlay.
Out-of-sample edge: Calmar 1.58 and max drawdown 8.21% vs S&P 18.76%, with ~13% annualized return—better risk-adjusted returns and much lower downside, plus tech-led upside when conditions favor.
