Darwin Portfolio Review: 7 July 2023
The Darwin Portfolio is an “all-weather” portfolio that requires few adjustments, based on risk parity, only when allocations get significantly out-of-line. The portfolio holds only 5 assets that may be adjusted for risk parity with an allocation to “Volatility” – considered as a separate asset class – for a little extra diversification. Current holdings are […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 7 July 2023
After last week’s pre-holiday fireworks the celebrations fizzed out after the holiday and US equities closed down ~1% lower than last week’s close: Another re-test of the 4300 level would not surprise me – but then it’s anyone’s guess where we might go from there. Since we are getting towards mid-summer a sideways market into […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 1): 30 June 2023
After a pullback to test support at ~4300, US equities bounced to finish the week strongly, closing at the top boundary of the 1 SD uptend channel: Should the trend continue there does not seem to be serious resistance until ~4600 – but this may just have been some early 4th July fireworks, so we’ll […]

Another bullish week in US Equities with the SPX continuing it’s move within the uptrend channel and sitting at the upper 1 SD boundary – where we may see some resistance: This week’s performance in US equities placed pretty near the top of the list in terms of major asset class performance, with global equities, […]
Rutherford Portfolio Review (Tranche 2): 9 June 2023
US equities continued to confirm their bullish trend over the past week although they could not close above the 4300 mark: 4300 is the 61.8% Fibonnaci retracement level from the October 2022 lows to the prior January 2022 all-time high. It is also a significant area of previous support/resistance – notably the August 2022 attempt […]
Darwin Portfolio Review: 2 June 2023
The Darwin Portfolio is an “All-Weather” portfolio with a dash of volatility. Performance to date (since lowering volatility target levels last November) looks like this: The large “jumps” correspond to periodic allocation adjustments to risk parity – but maybe the stacked chart is easier to follow: at least it is a little easier to see […]
