About this strategy

CORE PRINCIPLE
The strategy is based on the core idea that capital flows from an asset class to another, and such shifts in capital allocation occur according to the perceived economic conditions. The strategy employs proprietary quantitative tools to detect such shifts in probabilistic terms and creating a portfolio weight scheme that maximize the probability of being allocated in the strong assets in which capital is flowing. This compounds with a rigorous systematic risk management procedure that aims to deliver stable return over time, with little or no correlation to the market.

INVESTMENT PROCEDURE
Phase 1 - Information Processing
After having processed all relevant market informations, the model estimates the probabilities for each asset class to be the most performing.
Phase 2 - Weighting Scheme
A rigorous risk management procedure outputs the weights that maximize the chance of stable growth, given the probabilities estimated in Phase 1.
Phase 3 - Exposure
A self-learning system elaborates the relevant informations to estimate the current market conditions and the probabilities of tail events to unfold in the future. Such probabilities are then assembled into a market risk score, according to which portfolio exposure may be set in a range 0%-200% to improve the performances in
risk-off periods and reduce losses in risk-on phases.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Traded Instruments
The model trades asset class ETFs, which include Domestic/International-Developed/Emerging Equities, Government/Corporate-ShortTerm/LongTerm-AAA/BB Bonds, Energy/Agriculture/Raw Materials Commodities, Gold and precious metals, Currencies. To gain exposure grater than 100% levered ETFs may be traded.
Trade Frequency
The average holding period is 1 month, the model trades about 4/5 ETFs per month. During period of extreme volatility holding frequency may shorten, resulting in a faster adapting allocation.

PERFORMANCE
In the backtest period (1985-2018), 91.2% of the trailing 12 month periods exhibited positive cumulative returns, the extent of the worst loss recorded has been 16%, and its length before recovery 17 months.
What you should expect from this strategy: mild losses in the range 4%-11% on average (range of 90% of the historical losses 1985-2018) and fast recovery time (90% of historical losses were recovered within 12 months).
The average historical return has been around 15% p.a., net of trading commissions.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
