About this strategy

AdaptiveAlpha AWP is a fully systematic, rules-based portfolio that allocates capital across multiple equity and defensive asset buckets using backtested algorithms grounded in risk-adjusted performance (Sharpe ratio), momentum, and trend speed.

Rather than selecting assets in isolation, the strategy first determines how much capital to allocate to each bucket (e.g., equity momentum vs. defensive momentum) based on historical Sharpe behavior and signal strength. Assets within each bucket are then selected and sized using objective momentum and trend criteria. There is no discretionary decision-making once the rules are set.

Portfolio Construction Framework

Bucket-based allocation: Capital is first allocated across predefined equity and defensive sleeves

Sharpe-driven weighting: Bucket and sleeve allocations are informed by backtested Sharpe ratio behavior

Speed & momentum signals: Allocation adjusts based on the strength and persistence of trends

Absolute momentum filters: Assets and buckets must exhibit positive trends to be eligible for investment

Systematic selection: Assets within each bucket are selected using rules-based momentum filters

Long-only, unlevered: No leverage, options, or futures

Rebalancing & Execution

Monthly rebalance (typically at the start of the month)

Bucket weights and asset weights are reset to model-defined targets

Overlapping or redundant exposures are consolidated at rebalance

All trades follow predefined rules with no discretionary overrides

Risk Management Philosophy

Risk is managed through diversification across uncorrelated buckets, dynamic allocation driven by risk-adjusted return metrics, absolute momentum filters, and disciplined rebalancing. The strategy is designed to participate in favorable equity environments while systematically shifting toward defensive assets when conditions weaken.

If both equity and defensive assets are in a downtrend, the strategy will reduce risk by avoiding exposure until positive momentum conditions re-emerge. Drawdown control and consistency are prioritized over aggressive return chasing.

What This Strategy Is — and Is Not

This strategy is:

Fully systematic and backtested

Driven by risk-adjusted performance, not forecasts

Designed for consistency across market regimes

This strategy is not:

A discretionary or news-driven strategy

A high-turnover trading system

A single-factor or single-asset approach

Trend-following Momentum

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
