Strategy
At the time of each Index rebalance, index components are weighted using a blend of quantitative rules to determine allocations to two asset classes via ETFs: US high yield corporate bonds, and US 3-7 year treasuries.
The index uses an ensemble of models: a 75%/25% blend of simple moving averages and time series lookback returns (using time series momentum principles) against a “reference index,” the closing price of the HYG ETF, to decide “target allocation.” A “final allocation” is produced by filtering the target allocation through a series of two steps: 1. creating a “Banded Weight” by maintaining maximum daily allocation change bands of 20% per day 2. Iterative rounding of “Banded Weights” to even weights in 20% increments while delaying day-over-day allocation adjustments in the condition the absolute day-over-day change in “Rounded Weight” (equal to “Banded Weight” rounded to 20% increments) exceeds the absolute day-over-day change in “Banded Weight” by 5%.
The objective of these steps is to prevent the day over day allocation change from being greater than 20% of total portfolio weight, while likewise reducing unnecessary turnover from the target allocation rounding function. The goal is to reduce trading frequency due to idiosyncrasies within the timing signal. The system rounds allocations to increments of 20% (so the only possible weights are 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) in order to reduce turnover and transaction costs coming from small allocation changes.
