Portfolio Core

Welcome to the Portfolio Core Model page—a momentum-driven, risk-aware tactical investment strategy designed to outperform its benchmark (S&P 500) over the long term, while delivering lower volatility.

Model Overview

The Portfolio Core Model is structured across four strategic sleeves to enable adaptable positioning across economic and market regimes. It dynamically rotates exposure based on momentum, volatility, and cross-asset signals.

Beta Control

Tech exposure and volatility overlay.

World Allocation

Provides diversified equity exposure across styles and geographies.

Interest Rate Hedge

Respond to shifts in interest rate momentum and curve dynamic.

Currency Hedge

Manages inflation, dollar strength, and FX volatility.

How it Works

  1. Momentum-Driven ETF Allocation

    • Allocations are adjusted based on weekly and monthly MACD signals

  2. Selective Risk Management

    • Defensive ETFs are used to cushion during equity weakness.

    • Equities are rotated tactically based on momentum strength

Portfolio Fit

The Portfolio Core model is designed as a strategic anchor within an investor’s broader asset allocation. Its construction—balancing momentum-driven equity exposure with flexible defensive sleeves, makes it highly versatile.

Suitability

Core equity allocation with downside protection. Portfolios needing a multi-asset backbone with a rules-based approach.

Role

Pairs well with satellite alpha strategies, such as Themes, Equity Growth & Defensive, as well as Diversifiers.

Risk

Acts as a volatility buffer next to higher-beta models or single-asset class models.

Taxation

Investors seeking adaptive risk management without high turnover. Can be used in all account types.

Conclusion

The Portfolio Core Model is designed for investors who value performance with discipline. By blending a momentum-driven approach with measured allocation adjustments, this model seeks to outperform its benchmark (S&P 500) through a full economic cycle while minimizing volatility and drawdowns.
