Podcasts about tactical asset allocation

Today, I sit down with Jonathan Reich, a financial advisor at Global View Capital Management and a new member of the Catholic Financial Planners Network. Jonathan shares his journey from working in high-volume client service roles at Fidelity and Equitable to finding a more fulfilling path in personalized financial planning. We dive into tactical asset allocation, a strategy designed to minimize volatility and enhance risk-adjusted returns by dynamically adjusting investments based on market conditions. Unlike traditional strategic asset allocation, this approach uses market-driven stop losses to protect clients from downturns like those seen in 2008 or during the COVID-19 crash. We also discuss leveraging ETFs and options to amplify market positions and the importance of using key indicators to guide investment decisions. Beyond finance, Jonathan reflects on the importance of living with intentionality—balancing financial goals with faith and family, and ensuring that financial success doesn't overshadow deeper values. We wrap up by encouraging listeners to seek financial advisors who align with their beliefs and long-term priorities.Key Takeaways:• Tactical asset allocation adjusts investments based on market conditions, while strategic asset allocation maintains fixed percentages and periodic rebalancing.• Tactical strategies use market indicators to exit positions before significant downturns, protecting clients from major losses like those in 2008 and the COVID-19 crash.• Reducing financial stress through proper planning allows for a more balanced, fulfilling life.• Tactical asset allocation focuses on long-term market trends rather than making daily trades.• Being part of a values-driven financial network, like the Catholic Financial Planners Network, ensures alignment between financial guidance and personal beliefs.• While money is useful, true fulfillment comes from faith, purpose, and meaningful relationships.Key Timestamps:(00:00) – Who is Jonathan Riesch?(05:27) – Understanding Tactical Asset Allocation(06:58) – Risk-Adjusted Returns Explained(15:12) – The Importance of Time-Weighted Returns(19:38) – Signals for Tactical Asset Allocation(26:42) – Mentorship and Life PhilosophyKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and finances, Jonathan Riesch, Tactical Asset AllocationMentions:Website: https://gvcmanagement.com/More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Tactical asset allocation is considered a dynamic investment strategy. In this episode we explore this approach and the certain situations in the marketplace that lead investors to utilize this. Stéphane Renevier, Analyst at Finimize, joins Cassidy Clement to discuss.

David Kudla explains “tactical asset allocation” as he argues for opportunities in Europe, gold, and alternatives as the U.S. goes through “fiscal austerity” amid “peak uncertainty.” He talks about how the strong labor market is impacting the Fed as President Trump criticizes Chair Powell for not lowering rates. He also discusses the possibility of stagflation and even recession.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

February proved disappointing for markets, as stronger economic data crushed expectations of falling inflation and an early pivot in interest rates. Central bank rhetoric has become more hawkish and higher terminal interest rates are now forecast. Sometimes good news on growth is seen as bad news by markets. Today we discuss the prospects for more buoyant western economies, boosted by the reopening of China. We also review our Tactical Asset Allocation in response to an increasingly uncertain outlook.

Markets have rebounded in 2023, as deeper recession fears fast became a thing of the past. Hopes are growing for a softer economic landing, despite persistently hawkish central bank rhetoric. Today we weigh the chances of a soft landing for the major western economies, boosted by the reopening of China. We also review our Tactical Asset Allocation in response to such buoyant markets.

Financial markets had a tough time in 2022, leaving investors with ‘nowhere to hide'. Central banks were blamed for their aggressive game of interest rate catch up, as inflation soared to levels not seen for decades. Today we explore how 2023 might bring a change in the market backdrop and perhaps better performances from major asset classes. We also take a look at our Tactical Asset Allocation response to these evolving markets.

Leading portfolio builders Omar Aguilar of Schwab Asset Management and Sébastien Page of T.Rowe on how to position your portfolio for the latter half of 2022, amid market volatility and rising interest rates.

Renowned technical analyst Katie Stockton, CMT is Founder and Managing Partner of Fairlead Strategies, LLC, an independent research firm. Additionally this year, she became lead portfolio manager of the Fairlead Tactical Sector ETF - $TACK. Her conservative and unbiased approach to markets has helped clients navigate volatility for 25 years and she has now translated that discipline into an investable strategy. This month's interview was really a masterclass in how to responsibly analyze markets – top down, multi-timeframes, quantifiable measures, bottom-up corroboration on sectors and individual securities all in a repeatable process. Dynamite takeaways for our listeners in every role of the investment industry. This month's conversation takes listeners on a journey across three sets of market indicators: trend following, mean reverting and market internals. With each measure there is exact science in the computations of market statistics, but also nuance in how to interpret their message in the context of multiple timeframes and larger market regime shifts. Beyond the commonly used technical tools, Katie also employs ichimoku clouds and the TD Sequential and TD Combo tools from highly decorated market timer, Tom DeMark. Listeners will understand the use of these and many other tools in the context of Katie's systematic approach to analysis and  money management. To better understand the concepts covered, and current market commentary, we recommend reviewing the supplemental resources accompanying this episode using this link https://go.cmtassociation.org/ftge19

In this episode, I dive into a style of investing called Trend Following or Momentum. Designed to minimize portfolio drawdowns. Being rules-based, investing removes emotions from decision-making. Investing broadly across asset classes and geography provides investors with more opportunities to see returns. The research supports the approach to lower risk and potentially enhance long-term returns. There are loads of data from research that provides strong out-of-sample evidence that there is consistent, long-term evidence that trends have been pervasive features of global stock, bond, commodity, and currency markets. If you want to learn about something a bit more unconventional, you are in the right place. Below are some of the best pieces I've read on the topic. https://alphaarchitect.com/2019/06/trend-following-the-epitome-of-no-pain-no-gain/#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20recurring%20themes,them%20%E2%80%9Clike%20grim%20death.%E2%80%9D (Trend Following: The Epitome of No Pain, No Gain) http://econompicdata.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-behavioral-and-performance-benefits.html (The Behavioral and Performance Benefits of Trend Following) https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=475067021089026022014020031023121005125033039077095007109009099022025024089069088027011106020047055036105026065127025073075096098057087032023085002064102009125004093008032002090027007095065102003122082003017113026088108064001066126010109095122084072&EXT=pdf&INDEX=TRUE (A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation) https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=295096073027112078078086117099112107055064063038093061070012095027072096081002112023041124051002057017044100127071091029098031017010070089022092088081116031085072035047004004109027000001095099025026020084018112118119114021028115119006076028067064096&EXT=pdf&INDEX=TRUE (Learning to Play Offense and Defense: Combining Value and Momentum from the Bottom Up, and the Top Down) https://alphaarchitect.com/2020/04/trend-following-is-everywhere/ (Trend Following is Everywhere) https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w21700/w21700.pdf (MOMENTUM IN IMPERIAL RUSSIA) Our Sponsors https://www.veterinariansuccesspodcast.com/guardianvets (GuardianVets) (be sure if you reach out to mention us for 50% off your first month) https://www.veterinariansuccesspodcast.com/vetcheck-pet (VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center Franchise)

Summary: I sit down and chat with Dr. Rufus Ranking, Tactical asset allocation expert, to discuss what you can do in consideration of the turmoil the markets have been facing over the last few weeks. This method is a variation on strategic allocation, but is a lot more adapted. Exposure is reduced as assets become more volatile, which increases chances for success. Tune in for more insight. Highlights: -There's been dramatic market turmoil in the last few weeks. What could you have done in anticipation of this, and what can you do now? -Tactical asset allocation is a variation on strategic allocation, but we're more frequently updating our estimates on what the world looks like -It's a lot more adapted; most of these approaches reduce exposure to assets as they become more volatile and go into negative territory -Most TAA approaches focus more on price/price-related data -Focus on price levels, recent returns, volatility, etc. -You get most of the upside and a lot less of the downside, and get the main trend right most of the time -When things are risky, you can reduce your exposure -Basic approach is to look at volatility in basic assets -Most TAA approaches use relative strength and time series momentum -Rufus has been applying these strategies for close to 20 years Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Sidepocket

In Episode 49 of the [i3] Podcast, we speak with Stephen Laipply, US Head of iShares Fixed Income ETFs for BlackRock. We discuss how fixed income exchange traded funds (ETFs) fared during March and April of this year, when many bond markets froze due the global pandemic. We talk about price discovery in listed and OTC markets and the question whether we will ever see an institutional grade portfolio comprising solely ETFs. 1:00 My father bought me my first stock when I was a child and it happened to be Apple, but... 3:00 First encounter with ETFs 5:30 The changing use of ETFs by institutional investors. 6:30 ETFs in Tactical Asset Allocation 8:00 Have fixed income ETFs remained liquid when credit markets froze? 8:44 We saw half of last year’s volume trade in a single quarter 9:30 How accurate do fixed income ETFs reflect the prices in the OTC market? 10:30 March 12 was one of the most challenging days in the risk off market. 11:00 If you compare 90,000 trades to a dozen of trades, then we have more confidence in the price discovery of those 90,000 13:00 You wrote a paper on fixed income ETFs as leading indicators? 15:00 Can you develop strategies based on the slight lag in information? 18:30 Sometime regulations can be a benefit to the sector. After the GFC, tighter regulations increased the demand for fixed income ETFs. 21:00 What type of institutional investors use these ETFs? 23:30 Relative trades with ETFs 26:00 Do fixed income ETFs trade like equities in the short term? 27:00 Just become an asset trades on an exchange, that doesn’t change the character of the asset class 29:00 What type of innovation do you expect to see in ETFs in the coming years? 31:00 Will we ever see an institutional-grade portfolio build completely out of ETFs?

In this episode I speak with Jim Masturzo, Head of Asset Allocation at Research Affiliates. In his role, Jim oversees the research and publication of the firm’s capital market assumptions as well as the implementation of those views into a suite of tactical portfolios. We begin our conversation discussing the foundational assumptions behind the capital market assumptions. Like most firms, Research Affiliates takes a long-term view on return and risk. In line with the firm’s guiding philosophy, they also introduce long-term mean reversionary effects. Not surprisingly, these assumptions have been relatively bearish on U.S. equity returns for a large part of the last decade, and we discuss how to view the dispersion between these model forecasts and realized results. We then shift our conversation to the application of tactical views. With capital market assumptions serving as the strategic backbone, Jim and his team develop a number of regime-based model portfolios that can be blended to express different tactical views. But the team does not take a purely quantitative approach. Jim proactively acknowledges and seeks out model blindness. Rather than try to force idiosyncratic fixes into the models that might bias results, however, he and his team adopt qualitative trades to adapt the portfolios. From strategic to tactical and quantitative to qualitative, this is a wide ranging conversation all about asset allocation. I hope you enjoy.

Mark Kritzman graduated with a business degree in a time of intense crisis and change in financial markets, and this experience shaped the arc of his career. He has dedicated his professional life to the study of asset allocation and portfolio optimization and his papers on these and other topics have earned over a dozen top awards in finance, including nine Bernstein/Fabozzi/Levy Awards. This conversation between ReSolve’s CIO Adam Butler and Mark is loosely guided by core themes from Mark’s newest book, “A Practitioner’s Guide to Asset Allocation”. Mark describes why he embraces Samuelson’s Dictum and how this has motivated his focus on asset allocation as the most fertile ground for active returns. Relatively small traders can drive mis-priced securities back to equilibrium but asset classes can – and do – stray far from equilibrium because traders lack the capital necessary to correct mis-pricings on their own. This is exacerbated by other barriers to arbitrage like institutional tracking error constraints and benchmark-oriented incentives. Given Mark’s views it’s not surprising that his team at Windham Capital focuses mostly on Tactical Asset Allocation. He expresses the view that the policy portfolio concept is profoundly misguided since markets have highly unstable distributions. Dynamic markets imply that optimal portfolios should change over time in response to changes in expected return, risk and correlation dynamics. Mark makes the case that portfolio optimization gets a bad rap but that most of the protests are disingenuous. Sure, out-of-the box optimization is error-maximizing on portfolio weights but that’s irrelevant for a few simple reasons, most prominently because no one with any sense would use an optimizer out-of-the-box, but also because while small changes in portfolio estimates might lead to large changes in weights, the expected mean and variance of the portfolio would hardly change at all. We address the 1/N arguments and Mark makes clear why they’re bunk. We cover a lot more ground but toward the end Mark divulges that he’s publishing a new paper with mind-blowing implications. I won’t give away the plot here… Mark has forgotten more about finance than most investors will learn in their career. Put down what you’re doing and listen to this right now.

Sage Regional Consultant Roman Samuels sits down with Sage Vice President of Research Komson Silapachai to discuss the best approach to getting your client to where they want to go in their investment journey: strategic asset allocation or tactical asset allocation.

My guest, this episode, likely needs little introduction.  His paper, a Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation is the highest ranked paper on SSRN with over 200,000 downloads at the point of recording.   But Meb Faber’s interests go far beyond tactical asset allocation.  His work over the last decade-plus – from his blog to his podcast to the books he has authored – spans broad topics such as shareholder yield, global value, hard asset alternatives, risk parity, and angel investing to name a few. I rarely enter these podcast conversations with a singular objective.  Being a prolific writer, however, there is very little that someone cannot find out about Meb’s investment beliefs through a simple Google search.  What I was keen to learn in this conversation is what drives those beliefs.  Why does Meb keep searching and exploring?  Is it simple curiosity, or is there a deeper, underlying philosophy that unifies his body of work? As you can likely guess from the title of this podcast, there is indeed a unifying theory.  But I’ll let Meb explain.

Episode 86 is a solo-Meb show. It’s been 10 years since Meb wrote “A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation” which is the top-downloaded paper of all time on SSRN. In the coming weeks, we’re going to publish a retrospective on that paper in the Journal of Portfolio Management. So Meb thought this episode would be a good opportunity to revisit the original paper and perform his 10-year post mortem. Here’s the abstract of the new paper, and the backbone for what you’ll hear in this episode: “In this article, the author revisits his seminal paper on tactical asset allocation published over 10 years ago.  How well did the market strategy presented in the original paper – a simple quantitative method that improves the risk-adjusted returns across various asset classes – hold up since publication?  Overall, the author finds that the model has performed well in real-time, achieving equity-like returns with bond-like volatility and drawdowns.  The author also examines the effects of departures from the original system, including adding more asset classes, introducing various portfolio allocations, and implementing alternative cash management strategies.” If you’re not familiar with Meb’s original “A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation” don’t miss Episode 86. In many ways, this paper is foundational to the various market approaches Meb has adopted since.

In Episode #3012, Larry Cao, CFA, spoke with Robert P. Browne, CFA, EVP and CIO of Northern Trust, about his team’s investment process. From quantitative approaches and factor analysis to more fundamental approaches, such as macroeconomic and valuation analysis, Browne shares his perspectives on the pertinent topics and, more importantly, on how to tie them together. Browne also spoke on their market outlook and where they see opportunities in the market. Are equities expensive after the sharp run-ups? Are bonds at risk given the rising interest rate environment in the US? Tune in, and find out for yourself.

Asset allocation is a subject we've covered at various times here on MeaningfulMoney as it is a core tenet of successful investing. But how do you apply it in real life to your investments? Is there such a thing as a ‘correct' asset allocation? Let's find out…   Sponsor Message This podcast is brought to you with the help of Seven Investment Management, a firm of investment managers based in London.

You can see what they're up to at 7im.co.uk Practical Asset Allocation Last week we talked about risk tolerance and risk capacity, and I suggested that you should maybe get your own risk tolerance measured over at myrisktolerance.com and then  conduct a couple of thought experiments to see where you might sit. That's entirely theoretical though, and it may be the case that only once you have some skin in the game, i.e. some real money invested, that you'll really know how you will cope with the inherent risk that comes wth investing. But how do you apply the theoretical to the real world? Let's try to give you a start… In this session, you'll discover: What Asset Allocation is, and how it works The difference between Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation, and why you should embrace one and ignore the other That there's no such thing as an optimal asset allocation Why you should start simple and build up carefully What kinds of funds you should actually buy to populate your asset allocation The off-the-shelf solution which will save you a load of work Resources mentioned in this week's show Risk Profiling: myrisktolerance.com Podcast: Season 2, Episode 1 - Why Invest?

Faber grew up in a family full of engineers, and he started off studying biomedical engineering in college. Despite his scientific background, he's always had a strong interest in finance. Faber discusses how coming into finance with his unique background helped to give him the ability to look at the data without getting distracted by investment dogma. He spent the majority of his youth in a raging bull market during the internet bubble; however, when he realized his mother's style of buy and hold investing didn't cut it anymore, he was forced to find new methods. Covel talks to Faber about his white paper, "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation"; his book, The Ivy Portfolio; the differences between "market timing" and "quant"; behavioral finance; the benefits of trend following systems in reducing volatility and drawdowns over enhancing returns; and the idea of macropessimism/microoptimism.
