Summary
A rules-based strategy designed to exploit market inefficiencies in a disciplined systematic manner.
Objective*
Seeks to outperform the market capitalization-weighted return of the S&P 500 index with less downside risk.
Investment Process
Our process enforces discipline by eliminating emotion:
- Equal-weight the S&P 100 Index to avoid over concentration in stocks, sectors and styles^
- Trim securities to 1% if they appreciate over 50% during the quarter
- Remove securities that fall 30% or more during the quarter
- Rebalance quarterly to realign holdings to 1% weights‡
*There is no guarantee that this objective will be achieved.
^ SPDRs may be used to equalize cash since they are highly correlated to the S&P 500 cap-weighted Index. They are used as equity proxies for the Corporate Leaders 100 strategy because they are more closely correlated to the strategy, and provide higher liquidity, than the S&P 100 cap-weighted SPDR.
‡ Rebalancing can result in capital gains or losses.
