On the first day of this series, we answer a pivotal question that every investor should ask themselves before embarking on their investment journey: where should you dedicate most of your energy and focus, asset allocation or security selection? We review how the biggest impact to portfolios comes from asset classes rather than individual securities. We also expand on how the largest pools of capital may lack the portfolio agility and mandate flexibility to take full advantage of the excess returns available in the asset allocation arena. This reality tends to generate better and more sustainable long-term opportunities for smaller, unconstrained players to deploy nimble and adaptive investment strategies.

Day 12 - Putting 11 days of Wisdom to work through a Multi-Asset Momentum Case Study 22:11

6 years тому22:11

22:11

The team has spent the last 11 episodes discussing the importance of asset allocation; the role of systematic “factor” tilts like momentum, value and trend; and how portfolio optimization can act as a force multiplier on long-term performance. This episode comes full circle by integrating all of the concepts described thus far: Asset Allocation, Risk Balance, Ensemble Methods, Portfolio Optimization and Factor investing, using multi-asset momentum as a case study for this integration. The team also discusses the importance of process diversification in terms of how to select an optimal multi-asset investment universe; diverse measures of momentum; different methods of portfolio optimization; and holding period diversification. A fitting conclusion to the 12 Days of Wisdom series, this is one that listeners will not want to miss!

Day 11 – How to Juice as Much Value as Possible from Trend Following - The Cheapest Factor Out There Today 20:22

6 years тому20:22

20:22

In our second-to-last episode, ReSolve’s newest partner Jason Russell is joining us to share his wisdom on one of the most misunderstood strategies out there. While many investors are aware of the solid returns a simple trend following approach can produce, it is the ability to select from a wide universe of uncorrelated asset-classes (especially currencies and commodities) and to use multiple signals that offer the greatest benefits. These ensemble methods truly maximize the ability to harvest the trend (and any other) premium and add a significant Sharpe ‘bonus’ to portfolios.

Day 10: How Thoughtful Portfolio Optimization Techniques can be a Total Game Changer for Portfolio Results 33:29

6 years тому33:29

33:29

The Lords of finance have somehow convinced investors that “simple” always beats “complex” in markets. But this is rubbish. The fact is that every portfolio formation – even the so-called ‘passive portfolio’ - expresses very active beliefs about how markets function, and the relationships between risk and return. It’s critical to understand these relationships in order to choose the optimal method of portfolio construction. Many common techniques such as market cap and equal weighting are profoundly sub-optimal in practice! In this episode, we discuss ReSolve’s portfolio optimization article series and describe why appropriate portfolio optimization can act as a powerful force-multiplier on long-term performance.

Day 9 – What It Means to be a True Systematic Manager and How to Spot the Lemons in your Lineup 30:33

6 years тому30:33

30:33

So far, we have been discussing a variety of ways to build portfolios and harvest returns, but we haven’t really addressed a fundamental aspect of how we think about portfolio construction. Even though most of us like to think that we will rise to the occasion in the face of a challenge, the reality is that we will most likely sink to the level of our training during those difficult times. In the world of investing, that ‘training’ can be thought of as establishing sound, economically viable and time-tested rules when things are calm (and emotions are in check) and executing them relentlessly through thick and thin. On this 9th day, we get down to what it really means to be a systematic investor.
