The document discusses quantitative strategies for managing market risk, asset allocation, and security selection. It describes using quantitative methods like analyzing trends, momentum, and relative strength across various asset classes and securities to develop systematic, rules-based investment strategies. Specific strategies discussed include rotating between sectors, countries, and asset classes based on quantitative metrics, and timing investments in stocks based on indicators like monthly reversals and market internals.
In December 2017 the US equity market entered what we call the “secular overvaluation zone” based on our main composite measure. That is only the 13th time it has happened since 1850, and the 7th time since 1905.
We explore and attempt to understand overvaluation episodes.

An analysis reviewing the role of arbitrageurs relative to Index fund rebalancing as both opportunists rent seekers, but also as unexpected liquidity providers without whom indexing would not work too well.
An article in the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303819704579320581924300124) focused on whether REIT stock prices typically decline when interest rates increase. They usually don't, because the pace of economic growth is generally more important--and interest rates generally increase as a result of improving economic conditions. When demand conditions (employment, income, consumer spending, etc.) are strengthening, commercial real estate usually becomes more valuable because prospects improve for future growth in rents and occupancy levels.
I have done many other versions of this analysis, updated by several years.

Insight Summit 2017: Intelligent Risk Taking - Active vs passive investing
Is factor investing a bubble? - René M. Stulz, Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, Ohio State University

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

11. The magnitude of the October rally has made the history books as the 11th largest since 1950. Needless to say, it is likely
that U.S. equities will digest their recent gains over the next several days before attempting a move higher. Large rallies such as this
are rare and typically occur in prolonged downtrends. Results are mixed 1 to 3 months out unless we look at periods where trailing
12 month trailing returns are positive (like now) in which case returns are generally higher 2 to 3 months out.

12. November 1, 2011
• Many strategists, have drawn comparisons to the May
2008 high which was also preceded by a 5 month
decline.
• There are several differences however: May of 2008
was not an upside monthly reversal
• The recent rally off of the October 4th, 1074 low has
retraced more than 61.8% of the decline from the 1370
high earlier this year while the rally off of the March
2008 low did not.
• Market internals (acceleration of advance vs. declines
and up volume vs. down volume) have achieved levels
typically associated with intermediate term advances
13. Monthly Reversals
• Simple pattern
• Rare occurrence (84 of past 720 months)
• Little or no interpretation
14. Market Risk
• Market trend and momentum
• Market Internals (breadth adv/dec., Hi-Low, %
of 10 and 30 Week)
• Market externals (intermarket relationships –
stocks vs. bonds, large vs. small, commodities
vs. bonds, high yield vs. treasury)
15. Advance Decline
• represents the amount of liquidity in the
markets
• one stock – one vote
• Nasdaq preferred over NYSE
• advance decline line – moves too slow
• acceleration/deceleration in advancing vs.
declining issues tends to expand and contract
representing “liquidity waves”
16. McClellan
• Sherman and Marion McClellan created the
McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index (son
Tom continues on tradition of innovative
indicator development)
• Oscillator – difference of the 10% and 5% trend of
advances minus declines divided by advances
plus declines
• Summation Index – addition of the daily oscillator
values
17. Nasdaq Summation Index
at a 20 day high and Nasdaq 50 day MA positive slope
Test Period Nasdaq Average 21 Day Return Strategy Average 21 Day Return
1978-2000 1.55% 1.88%
2000-current 0.09% 0.49%
1978 - current 1.03% 1.43%
19. Summation Index Observations
• indicator Peaks 4/26/2010, 1/18/2011
• indicator Bottoms 7/7/2010, 8/23/2011
• direction and level are important (short and
intermediate term signals)
• daily data has become more volatile
• consult weekly advance decline
• include volume
20. Asset Allocation
• investment strategy that attempts to balance risk and
reward by adjusting % of each asset in an investment
portfolio
• common asset classes – equities (large, mid, small) bonds
(government, corporate, high yield), REITS, commodities
(industrial and precious metals, grains, currencies)
• Core
• Tactical
• Satellite
21. Tactical Asset Allocation
• Active approach to positioning assets in a
portfolio
• Systematic allocation based on definable
metrics and rules
• Example: S&P 500, EAFE, REITS,10 Year
Bond, Commodity Index
• Considerations: Intermediate and long term
trend, also relative strength of each asset class
vs. S&P 500 and 10 year bond
22. Intermarket Anaysis
• John Murphy
• branch of technical analysis that examines
relationships between
stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies
• relationships contain important information
about the business cycle and hold important
implications for asset allocation
23. Relationship of Stocks and Interest Rates
Weekly returns - S&P 500 & 10 Year Yields
• Correlations • In most of history, rising
• 1960s -.050 rates have been
• 1970s -.288 associated with
declining stock prices
• 1980s -.278
• Structural changes in
• 1990s -.268 economy (borrowing
• 2000s .374 and demand for goods)
have caused
relationship to invert

30. High Yield bond characteristics
• a distinct asset class:
• due to higher coupon rates and shorter
maturities, high yield bond prices are less impacted
by interest rate changes than investment grade
corporate or treasury bonds
• low correlation to other financial asset classes
• sensitivity to business cycle and credit conditions
• tend to appreciate in economic expansions and
decline in periods of economic contractions
31. High Yield default rates
• According to Moody’s Investor Service
• 1933 = 15%
• 1990 = 10.1%
• 1991 = 10.4%
• 2001 = 10.6%
• 2009 = 13.7%
32. Advantages of High Yield
• high yield bonds have historically provided
investors with high current income
• capital appreciation potential
• low volatility relative to equities
• low correlation to other asset classes
• tends to exhibit excellent trend characteristics
33. Core and Satellite
• Core - dedicated allocation to core asset
classes
• Satellite - rotating allocation to leading asset
classes based on trend, trend momentum and
relative strength
38. Relative Strength
• performance of a security relative to:
• index or benchmark
• similar asset or group of similar assets
• different asset (stocks versus bonds)
39. Scoring System
• uniform way to objectively assess the merits
of buying, selling or holding a security at any
point in time
• score weights are based on trend, trend
momentum and relative strength
• metric weighting = 1 point if positive
• maximum score =7, minimum score = 0
• max score for SPY = 5, cannot achieve 2
additional from RS vs. itself
40. Scoring system
• Short term trend
• Intermediate term trend
• Long term trend
• Intermediate term momentum
• Long term momentum
• Intermediate term relative strength
• Long term relative strength
41. characteristics of scoring system
• Score = ideally 4 or higher (move from below 4
to above 4 is generally important
• Score direction – improving trend in score
tends to correlate with improving price trend
• Turnaround – a score of 0 that improves to 1
or 2 is indicative of improving trend
momentum (momentum precedes price)
• high score represents positive relative
strength
43. Equity Scores
• generally declining in May –July
• on 8.1.2011 equity ETFs lost a total of 7 points
combined
• began to improve in October - December
44. Bond ETF Scoring
• similar to equity ETF in trend and trend
momentum
• exception is relative strength: i.e. one metric
compares a bond ETF to an equity benchmark
(SPY)
• the other compares each bond ETF to a fixed
income benchmark – (IEF) iShares 7-10 year
Treasury
• max score = 7, exception is SPY and IEF as Max =
6, (each cannot score a point on RS vs. itself)
46. Bond ETF Universe
• generally rising in score in June and July (IEF
moved to a buy signal on 5.2.2011)
• scores of Bond ETFs higher than SPY (IEF’s max
score of 6 from 6.13.2011 through 10.17.2011
carried an important message)
• strategy metrics called for a tactical shift in
satellite allocations from equity to fixed income
48. Equity ETF scores
• examples of a few recent buy signals
(crossover from below 4 to 4 or higher)
• 10.17.2011 – IVW
• 11.14.2011 “false signal”, 12.12.2011 SPY
• 12.5.2011 IJT
• 12.12.2011 IJR, IJS
