Achieve outstanding risk-adjusted returns across all market environments!

• Easy to follow ETF Model Portfolios designed to exploit the time series-, the cross-sectional momentum anomaly, as well as the diversification premia in a highly systematic way
• Each ETF Model Portfolio has its own investment objective, ranging from achieving superior stable returns to exceptionally high absolute as well as relative returns, or is simply designed as a hedge for a certain market environment
• Get precise percentage allocation advice for each Model Portfolio, plus a weekly-updated factsheet with detailed risk and performance figures

Higher Returns By Capturing The Momentum Factor

The academic literature strongly suggests that implementing a strategy in a diversified portfolio that captures the momentum factor leads to significantly higher risk-adjusted returns while reducing short- and medium-term risk (Hurst, Ooi and Pedersen, 2017). An important question is how to implement such findings in practise?

Financial markets exhibit anomalies that can be exploited in a systematic way

We support you in this endeavor by providing four non-correlated ETF Model Portfolios focused on exploiting the time series and the cross sectional momentum anomaly, as well as the diversification premia via a transparent and systematic investment process. Each ETF Model Portfolio has its own investment objective, ranging from achieving stable returns in every market environment to exceptionally high absolute as well as relative returns, or is simply designed as a hedge for a certain market environment. As a result, we are offering our members exposure to long-term, well-rewarded anomalies, the existence and persistence of having been documented by both theoretical and empirical academic evidence.

An Extremely Diversified Portfolio!

The outcome of each Model Portfolio is regularly updated with precise percentage allocation advice for major U.S.-listed ETFs, dedicated to members looking for a hands-off approach or just for highly effective investment ideas to improve the efficiency of their respective portfolio. To track the performance of each strategy, we publish a factsheet with detailed risk and performance figures on a weekly basis. Although each strategy can be effectively used on a stand-alone basis, the aim is to incorporate them all on an equal-weighted basis (WSC Model Portfolio Composite). A key advantage of this approach is the consideration of the fact that each strategy performs differently in certain market environments, adding a second layer of diversification.

As a result, you receive an extremely diversified portfolio (WSC Model Portfolio Composite), which is remarkably stable and robust, yielding an above-average Sharpe ratio with little correlation to common portfolios. Not surprisingly, this aggregated portfolio (WSC Model Portfolio Composite) has demonstrated outstanding risk-adjusted returns across all market environments thus far.

We believe that it is essential to diversify risk amongst a variety of low-correlated investment strategies!
