Momentum Weighted Portfolio A modification of the Rank Weighted (RW) Momentum Portfolio described in Part 10-2 of this Study is what I have called the Momentum Weighted (MW) Portfolio. This strategy uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate allocation weights that more accurately reflect the relative momentum of the individual assets rather than the simple Rank […]
Asset Allocation – Risk Parity Revisited: Part 2
In my previous Risk Parity Part 1 post I presented possible ways that funds might be allocated to momentum-ranked assets without any filtering to ensure diversification. One possible weakness of this simple form of momentum ranking is that highly correlated assets may rank similarly within the listings – this may be either a good thing […]
Asset Allocation – Risk Parity Revisited: Part 1
Having selected a number of assets to include in a portfolio, a key decision any investor has to make is “What percentage of my available funds should I allocate to each asset held in my portfolio?” In the Feynman Study I covered a number of common options: 1. Use of a Strategic Asset Allocation Plan (SAA) – […]
Looking for Signs of Weakness in the Markets
Even though some of us may have been wary of the continuing strength of the markets for a few months now, over the past week, we may have been getting the feeling that some signs of weakness are beginning to show in the markets. In a standard margin account we could consider shorting assets to […]
Feynman Portfolio Study: Final Summary
The purpose of the Feynman Study was to take a list of 18 diversified assets and to demonstrate how that list could be used to construct portfolios based on a number of different strategies: Passive (Buy and Hold) Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) Strategy; Active (Buy…..Don’t Hold) Tactical Asset Allocation (Re-Balance) Strategy; “Classic” US Equity/US Bond […]
Feynman Portfolio Study: Part 9-1 Diversification, Correlation and Clusters
In this Post I introduce the concepts of Cluster Analysis to Portfolio Construction. Hierarchical Clustering is a mathematical/statistical method of analysis supported by widely accepted scientific methods. Don’t worry, I’m not going into all that technical detail – anyone who is so inclined can Google the subject on the Internet. Rather, I describe the practical […]
Feynman Portfolio Study: Part 7
In Parts 1 to 3 of the Feynman Portfolio Study I examined the roles of diversification and optimization in Portfolio Construction. Part 4 focused on the re-balancing of “Classic” US Equity/Bond portfolios and Part 5 introduced the concepts of “Momentum” investing. In Part 6 of the Study I focused on Risk Management and the use of […]
