Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 27 May 2022

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 27 May 2022 1

Well, that was quite a week in US equity markets with the S&P 500 Index closing the week 6.6% higher than last week’s close:

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 27 May 2022 2Prices have broken out of the downtrend channel and Implied Volatility has decreased significantly (over 30% from the recent highs). We are now sitting at ~415 in SPY that is the level of the mid-March pivot low (B) and potential resistance to moves from below. Next week we will see whether the breakout is just a head-fake (maybe caused by short covering) and whether 415 will present resistance and we see a retreat in prices, or whether we will break through and confirm a change to a new bullish trend after the “official” 20% pullback of the recent bearish trend.

Checking the performance of other asset classes over the last week:

So, how did the Rutherford Portfolio perform:

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 27 May 2022 4Even though we have moved some money to Cash over the past 2 weeks (in Tranches 1 and 2) the portfolio performed pretty well in line with the benchmark AOR fund.

Checking current holdings:

Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 3): 27 May 2022 5we see that we are holding positions in VNQ, DBC, GLD and AOR in Tranche 3 (the focus of this week’s review). So we’ll check rankings and recommendations from the BHS model:

Nothing really stands out here other, perhaps, than the relative strength of SHY – that we know doesn’t do very much, but everything’s relative.

This makes it a little difficult to decide what to do this week – but, for the sake of completeness we’ll check the recommendations of a rotation model:

Since I have moved a little money to Cash over the past 2 weeks I think that I will save a little in trading costs and leave things as they are in Tranche 3 – i.e. in addition to continue to hold positions in DBC and GLD, rather than move more money to Cash I will hold on to the current positions in VNQ (Real Estate) and AOR (Benchmark equity/bond fund) so as to maintain diversification until we see a better defined trend.

We’ll check again next week.
