Investment Approach
Model: Sector/Asset Rotation LS 2X:

Sector/Asset Rotation is a Long/Short Cash Neutral ETF based portfolio consisting of highly liquid ETFs which represent all major sectors in the US, Fixed Income, and Commodities. The portfolio is leveraged at 2X due to its inherit low volatility.
The portfolio's goal is to generate positive returns in any market regime while maintaining low exposure against large drawdowns and market volatility.

The Sector/Asset Rotation portfolio is predicated on the notion that markets naturally flows between sectors and asset classes. The idea is to move cash between long and short holdings in order to exploit the differential while maintaining minimum exposure to sudden market surprise.
The portfolio consists of 18 ETFs each representing 100's of stocks.
The portfolio is re-optimized monthly between its long and short positions for maximum return while forced to keep the net exposure at 0 (50% Long and 50% Short).

Here is how the Model Portfolio is traded:

The portfolio relies on Markowitz's Nobel price winning MVO, mean variance optimization and a regression based price forecaster using K nearest neighbor or Knn.
Every four weeks, the system seeks to identify which ETFs are set to outperform or underperform. The optimizer then attempts to allocate 100% of its buying power between its long/short constituents for Max Return (targeting the top right edge of the efficient frontier).
In addition, to minimize the impact of changes in market regime in between optimization schedules, the portfolio employs strict trailing stop loss conditions.
It is not uncharacteristic to witness over 50% of the transactions closing due to stop loss conditions. While the remaining positions in the portfolio continue to generate returns perpetually.
Transaction cost and slippage are considered.

Investment advisory services provided by Neuravest Research Inc., a registered investment adviser. Registration as an investment adviser does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Nothing presented herein has been approved or verified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any self regulatory organization (SRO), or state securities authority.

Information presented herein is hypothetical and solely for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as an offer to buy or a solicitation of an offer to sell any security or other investment product. Though we have endeavored to present the information contained herein from sources believed to be reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of such information and make no warranties or representations as such.

All investments involve risks that an investor should fully understand and be willing to bear. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns, and investing can result in partial or complete loss of invested capital. Such risks can be magnified to the extent leverage is deployed in the pursuit of potentially higher returns.

To the extent investment returns are presented, such investment returns are either hypothetically backtested or reflect a perpetual paper trading simulation and are labeled as such. Returns are presented as net returns of transaction costs, slippage and short borrowing costs (when applicable). Investment returns are also net of Neuravest standard annualized management fees of 40 basis points (on Assets Under Management) and 10% performance fee on excess return above an 8% hurdle. Investment returns presented reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, however they do not account for taxes that an investor may owe as a result of any investment gains. Investors may incur taxes as a result of investing, and may pay different transaction costs to the ones presented to the broker-dealer executing the transactions for their account(s).

Hypothetical backtested returns are simulated, retroactive, and created using the benefit of hindsight to a select period of time, and are thus inherently not as reflective of actual historical returns. Any hypothetical backtested returns are based on the following assumptions and criteria:

  • Actual price was available for execution
  • Capacity and daily float was supportive of volume traded.
  • Transaction cost and slippage are reflective of real-world brokerage fees.

Hypothetical backtested returns do not reflect actual trading and do not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors may have had on Neuravest’s algorithmic decision-making at the time.

To the extent investment performance is compared to one or more indexes, investors should be aware that one cannot invest directly into an index (a simulated basket of securities that do not reflect fees, costs, or taxes that an investor may actually incur).

Neuravest Research and its affiliates do not provide tax, legal or accounting advice. This material has been prepared for informational purposes only, and is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, tax, legal or accounting advice. You should consult your personal tax, legal and accounting advisors before engaging in any transaction.

Asset allocation/diversification or hedging does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.

Performance fees may vary depending upon executed leverage.
