Of all the Dual Momentum™ portfolios, the McClintock stands out as the top performer. The exact reason remains somewhat of a mystery. I attribute the excellent performance to the luck-of-review-day as the operational model is the same for all the DM portfolios.

Checking Up On McClintock: 5 October 2022
Updating the McClintock generated a surprise as I expected the Dual Momentum™ model would follow the recommendation we observed for both the Franklin and Pauling portfolios which was to invest 100% of the portfolio in U.S. Equities.

McClintock is a Dual Momentum™ portfolio where a longer look-back period is used. As you recall, the Franklin recommendation was to move out of VTI and into a lower volatile security. The Franklin uses a shorter look-back combination so it is quicker to react to market movements. Not so with the McClintock as you will […]
