Stock Market Investing/Trading • Started Investing 1987 • Stocks w Fundamental Analysis • 1993 Technical Analysis • 1994 Built First Market Risk Management Model • 1997 Trading Mutual Funds • 2003 Automated Mutual Fund Trading “Tango5” • 2004 Automated ETF Trading – “TangoETF”
ETF’s & ETF Trading Systems • ETF’s in general • Managed Risk Models • Some ETF trading systems • Focus on ETF Asset Allocation Rotation
Managed Risk • Stock Market a Dangerous Place • Priority Number one is NOT PROFIT, it is MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT • Using Risk Models we can measure the actual risk in the market • This allows us to avoid large loses during those dangerous market times
Overcoming Losses • 35% loss requires a 74% gain to break even. • 50% loss requires a 100% gain to break even. • 75% loss requires a 400% gain to break even.
Example Russell2000 21 yearsThe Power of Compounding Returns with Risk Management Black line is Russell2000 without Risk Management Red line is with Risk Management 1579% Greater Return with 38% less risk
Managed Risk Continued • SECOND PRIORITY is measuring the Alpha and Risk of individual ETF’s • Which gives us return per unit of risk • Using our ETF Risk Adjusted Ranking Models • Then identify the very best ETF’s to invest in at any given time
The ETF Advantage • Diversification • Transparency, Predictability • Safety • Liquidity • Cost
Asset Classes • More Asset Classes Main Benefit to ETF’s • If you can dream “it” up, you can make an ETF out of “it”. • Case Schiller Real Estate Index ETF • Junk Bond Spread (up and down) ETF’s • Van Eck Files for First A-Shares China ETF • Replicate Hedge Funds - IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy ETF, ticker QAI
Managed ETF’s ?? • Problem is disclosure of stock basket • There are some Managed ETF’s now • I would call them Semi Managed • Managed over Quarters not Actively Managed • One in registration will be weekly, disclosure after close on Friday • Some in registration will be daily
Example of Excellent Managed Mutual Fund DFSCX Period 21 years, Bottom Chart using Managed Model
TangoETF Inverse Option • Bull/Bear Cycle approximately 4 years • 3 year Bull Market, 1 year Bear Market • Do not want to go Long/Short in all markets • We developed Bull State/Bear State Signal • So we only Short using inverse funds in Bear State Market
