Each of the ETFOptimize Insights articles linked below provides our Premium Strategy subscribers (and after a 3-7 day delay, all complimentary subscribers) with a detailed analysis of one or more of the dozens of proprietary indicators we utilize in our models. We will feature an indicator when one has a significant change, or its signal is critical to understanding the market's recent movements.
Our rules-based investment strategies rely on composites of multiple robust indicators to provide a diversified set of Risk Signals, optimized for each model's approach, targeted volatility, and defined level of risk. The Signals from our proprietary Risk Score Composites determine when a strategy should reduce exposure to potential market volatility and switch to defensive positions or a cash-proxy ETF. Meanwhile, each model's sophisticated ranking system selects the optimum ETF for conditions. The result is an exceptionally smooth performance with Risk-Adjusted Returns attaining levels of 2.00 to 3.00+ over spans of many years.
Our ETFOptimize Insights articles regularly highlight one of our proprietary Risk Score Composites, particularly when one can provide a unique insight into an unusual aspect of the equity or fixed-income markets. We have Risk Score Composites constructed from 50+ distinct, high-quality, point-in-time (PIT) data series in these categories:
Breadth Indicators ($BI),
Fundamental Risk Indicators ($FI),
Intermarket and Exogenous Indicators ($IEI)
Macroeconomic Indicators ($MI),
Sentiment Indicators ($SI), and
Technical Indicators ($TI)
