COMBINING QUANT PORTFOLIOS
Design Risk, Return and Correlations
- For Quant Managed Accounts:
Clients have full flexibility to define their own portfolio combinations or can leverage Quantmade’s proprietary Dynamic Optimization (DO) model. This model adjusts asset allocation among the portfolios based on a six-month forward-looking forecast, ensuring an optimal balance of risk and return. - For Quant Funds and Certificates:
Investment vehicles such as funds or certificates are powered by either static or dynamic combinations of these portfolios. Static setups provide consistency, while dynamic combinations adapt to evolving market trends for superior performance.
- Enhanced Performance:
Blending uncorrelated strategies allows for greater stability and consistent alpha generation across market conditions. - Risk Diversification:
Combining independent, data-driven portfolios mitigates risks and reduces overall beta, making the portfolio less vulnerable to market volatility. - Adaptability:
Machine learning signals and real-time risk analytics enable precise timing and adaptability, maximizing returns while minimizing drawdowns.
This modular and dynamic approach ensures that investors can achieve a tailored strategy mix that aligns with their goals, balancing high returns with lower risk—ideal for sophisticated wealth management.
COMBINING QUANT PORTFOLIOS
Design Risk, Return and Correlations
Using our AI-driven stochastic models, we predict price movements with a measurable degree of probability. This approach allows us to maintain positions as long as the likelihood of an upward trend remains favorable, ensuring a strategic advantage. Each position is managed independently with its own model-driven exit strategy.
Unlike traditional investors, we operate as quantitative traders, employing a highly dynamic investment strategy. This enables us to minimize drawdowns by shifting predominantly to cash during market downturns while capitalizing on upward trends. By avoiding constant exposure to individual stocks and strategically moving fully into cash when necessary, we effectively mitigate risk while consistently achieving exceptional returns.
EXAMPle
Market Timing at swing-lows with zero lag
As can be seen in the chart of Coca-Cola, the Quant models avoid unintersting enteries with a low degree of upside potential. The Quants are able to differentiate between lower and higher volatility and adapt dynamically to market changes. This supresses drawdowns, buffers risks and increases returns – everything we want.
