NOTE: "Annual Annual Max Drawdown" (AAMDD) is the maximum drawdown for each year since inception, July 1 to June 30 each year, averaged across the number of years since the model's inception. This measure offers a better estimate of what a subscriber can expect for the model's worst drawdown in any given year – rather than an unusual, worst-case scenario in a single incident that may last a week or two and never repeats. For complete transparency, each strategy profile page also provides the strategy's one-time MDD in addition to the AAMDD.
For example, in 2008-2009, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF dropped by -56% over 18 months, recording the worst selloff since the Great Depression (75 years prior) and requiring more than five years for buy-and-hold investors to get back to even. Meanwhile, none of our systematic investment strategies lost a penny. Instead, they all at least doubled their principal, and the average performance was a 300% return in that time. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 gained 0% – that's five long years when investors had 'dead money,' and were struggling to get back to break-even.
Investors using the ETFOptimize Quantitative Strategies can virtually eliminate those devastating selloffs – and most of a strategies turn those events into profit-making opportunities. Our models have an Average Annual Max Drawdown (AAMDD) since inception of just -11.07%, which is a 20.46% improvement over the AAMDD of a buy-and-hold of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY).
The Risk-Adjusted Return notation is based on the Sortino Ratio, which more accurately utilizes downside volatility as a proxy for an investment's risk. Few investors ever complain about upside performance being risky. See each strategy's Profile Page for further information.
