A Market Regime-Based Research Approach
If you have a statistical edge in terms of risk/reward, constantly repeat the decision based on the same investment process. Ignore single outcomes, stick to the process, maximize the number of decisions and gains will automatically accumulate in the long run. First only used by casinos, the “law of active management” quickly evolved to be the bedrock of every successful investment strategy in the increasingly data-driven financial industry.
Each service offered by WallStreetCourier identifies low risk and high rewarding market regimes based on the same structured decision-making process. Following our market regime-based research approach is giving you the competitive edge to maximizing return opportunities in the long run. We believe that it is essential to identify stock market regimes & shifts in a timely manner, helping members to adapt their investment strategy to new circumstances.
By systematically exploiting high reward market regimes and sidestepping unfavorable ones, the most powerful force in the universe (aka as compound interest according to Albert Einstein) will work in your favor.
The Most Effective Investment Strategy: Avoiding Unfavorable Market Regimes!
The left table shows the hypothetical yearly returns of three portfolios, whereas one of them is representing the market. The right table shows the payoff of hypothetical USD 100 invested in each portfolio. The first portfolio (Market) represents a standard benchmark, whereas Portfolio 1 and Portfolio 2 focus on minimizing losses during unfavorable market regimes. There you can see that just by minimizing larger losses in the third year, Portfolio 2 and even Portfolio 1 are scoring higher returns in the long run (122/146 USD vs. 117 USD). Another major advantage of avoiding losses is that the underwater period (peak-to-trough decline) for the investor is also significantly lower. Therefore, the risk of an unfavorable entry point for an investor following such a strategy is also reduced to a minimum. For example, an initial investment in the market portfolio in year 2 would have been unprofitable for 3 years. A stark contrast to the payoff character of the Avoiding Losses Portfolios. These considerations are building the cornerstone of our investment philosophy.
