Recent Research

We use a multi-asset momentum framework to explore the potential benefits of ensemble construction in diversifying process and rebalance risk.

Dynamic Spending in Retirement Monte Carlo

Accounting for potential dynamic spending in retirement in the planning process can paint a better picture of retirement success and failure.

Decomposing the Credit Curve

We use statistical techniques to decompose changes in the credit spread curve into stylized portfolios capturing level, slope, and curvature factors.

Value and the Credit Spread

We use a measure of credit curve steepness as a valuation signal for timing exposure between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasuries.

We're back with Season 2 of our podcast Flirtig with Models. This season we interview guests all about topics from volatility investing to alternative data.

Time-Series Signals and Multi-Sector Bonds

We apply time-series momentum, value, carry, and reversal signals in fixed income and find them to be selectively significant and rarely consistent.

Quantitative Styles and Multi-Sector Bonds

In this commentary we explore the application of several quantitative signals (momentum, value, carry, reversal) to a broad set of fixed income exposures.

Tactical Credit

We find that short-term momentum signals generate statistically significant annualized excess returns for a tactical credit strategy.

Our Systematic Value Philosophy

This commentary introduces the philosophy and process behind our Systematic Value portfolio, which seeks to create style pure exposure to equity deep value.

Disproving a Signal

Last week we introduced a signal for country rotation. This week, we walk through the steps taken to explore the robustness of the signal.

Country Rotation with Growth/Value Sentiment

We identify a signal for country rotation (the prior return of growth minus value) that appears distinct from value and momentum signals.

Tactical Portable Beta

We revisit the idea of portable beta to introduce a tactical 90/60 model, which uses value, trend, and carry signals to govern equity and bond exposure.

Style Surfing the Business Cycle

In this commentary, we ask whether a business-cycle-based approach to factor timing can be an effective way to govern style exposures.

The Path-Dependent Nature of Perfect Withdrawal Rates

The perfect withdrawal rate in a retirement portfolio contains more risk than meets the eye. The order of returns is extremely important.

The Speed Limit of Trend

Using simulation techniques, we aim to explore how different trend speed models behave for different drawdown sizes, durations, and volatility levels.

Revisiting The Weird Portfolio

By looking at strategies by their underlying independent risk factors, we explore how even different allocations can lead to closely shared risks.
