The idea is to invest in asset classes that demonstrate little or no correlation with one another to enhance diversification and reduce portfolio volatility. This was sensible advice 20+ years ago. However, since 1973, stocks and bonds have been positively correlated nearly 70 percent of the time.<\/p><p>The problem is that as we, collectively as investors, have piled into various \u201cuncorrelated\u201d asset classes, we have created an unwanted but predictable consequence: the correlations across markets and asset classes have risen, reducing the benefits of diversification. In addition, numerous academic and practitioner studies show that correlations between assets tend to increase during periods of market downturn, precisely when diversification is expected to protect a portfolio. Therefore, diversification today is a lot more difficult than it was a few decades ago and sticking with the old playbook of \u201chold more diverse asset classes or foreign stocks\u201d will no longer do the trick.<\/p><p>Given the limits of asset class diversification as an effective hedge, one approach to constructing a superior portfolio is to use a variety of anti-correlated investment strategies. These investment strategies can include trend following, momentum, reversal, carry trades, and volatility trading, among others.\u00a0<strong><em>The key is to focus on strategy diversification rather than just asset diversification\u3002<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bbe56a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5bbe56a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Anti-correlation &amp; Leverage<\/strong><\/p><p>Artemis Capital, based in Austin, published a research paper<sup>\u00a0[1]\u00a0<\/sup>about the macro shifts in long-range economic and monetary environments. One observation in the paper is that\u00a0<strong><em>anti-correlation is an effective defensive component for a long-term, resilient portfolio<\/em><\/strong>. To recap and paraphrase this insight:<\/p><p>Suppose an investor is given the option to buy two out of three possible asset choices: Assets A, B, and C. The first two assets (A and B) are highly correlated, and both generate positive returns: 15 percent and 13 percent respectively. Asset C, on the other hand, produces a slightly negative yield of -5 percent but is countertrend to assets A and B. In other words, asset C makes the most substantial gains during periods when the other two assets (A and B) suffer drawdowns.<\/p><p>Which two assets produce the best portfolio? Counterintuitively, combining assets A and C produces a portfolio that generates superior, risk-adjusted returns (10 percent returns and -5 percent drawdown) even when one of the assets (C) generates a negative yield.<\/p><p>Given the much higher return-to-drawdown ratio of Portfolio A + C, one can simply apply leverage to the A + C portfolio to achieve higher returns with lower risk than either Portfolio A + B or holding any individual asset.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80b3640 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"80b3640\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1030\" src=\"https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9948\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1-1024x549.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1-1536x824.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rs.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-portfolios-1-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b06543c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b06543c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Though simple yet effective, many investors (and portfolio managers) have yet to fully appreciate or understand the immense value that a defensive asset brings to a long-term portfolio.

We suspect that most portfolio managers do not discuss strategy diversification as often as asset class diversification because strategy diversification is extremely difficult to achieve.<\/p><p>To achieve effective strategy diversification, the portfolio manager must possess technical expertise in developing quantitative investment models that utilise a diverse pool of financial instruments, including derivatives, to trade various asset classes. An individual portfolio manager rarely has the expertise to develop investment strategies across all asset classes.<\/p><p>Furthermore, even if the portfolio manager is highly knowledgeable in strategy development, implementing these strategies often requires significant investment in infrastructure, technology, and people to manage operational risk. Such investment is usually out of reach for mid-size or small asset management companies or hedge funds.<\/p><p>Due to the size and scale of our firm, we have managed to establish a direct partnership with the structuring or financial engineering teams of top-tier reputable investment banks.
