So, it may look like wed want to shoot the bonds in this environment, but maybe when all of this, we get to kind of wear out of the stimulus and people The full scope of the unemployment problems and the fact that people solvency problems comes to light, maybe we get a sharp left turn back to deflation and then, all of a sudden, you end up getting some solid performance out of the bond portfolio. So, this was not a surprise to us, but I think it was a wonderful out of sample test to look at the theory that was presented in the paper. We had deflation in the first quarter, then the Fed came in and global central banks stepped in with $10 trillion, with the stimulus. Theres a lot in there. And it does not take into account skew, or how an asset performs on the right and left tail, or the return distribution, the extreme environments.

The unwilling and the unable. And I think todays a great example of that, where we actually simultaneously are seeing declines in stocks and bonds on the inflation part. Well, last two years, not much has gone on, right? I think Ill know the answer. Well, whats interesting about that, is that if you looked at XIV on a Sharpe ratio basis, it showed that this was an incredible investment. How do I update this listing? Which seems just like adding a little more equity. In fact, its probably would be sub-five, even though the equity markets are declining bit by bit every day, youre not getting a payout in your long vol. Chris: You look at this framework, and these are the diversifiers that actually generate and those are for the metric, you could actually take out a loan at LIBOR plus something, layer any of those strategies on top of your pre-existing 60/40 portfolio and you end up having a better portfolio.

On a quantitative basis, many of these modern portfolio-engineering strategies are using some window. So, when inflation has exploded, and youre looking at 14% to 16% Treasury yields, and mortgages are close to 25%, as they were back in the late 70s, early 80s. And thats mostly precious metals, and gold. And in this paper, we actually show some graphs that I think are just quite shocking to anyone who has an opportunity to look at them.

Web+44 131.225.7300 www.artemisfunds.com Investment Discipline Artemis believes that, whatever markets are doing, opportunities for above-average returns are available for All of a sudden, all of these different components that people have used, and all of these financial engineering strategies to augment and enhance portfolio returns actually fail.

The fund, which follows commodity indices and bets on futures in different commodities, is up 2.35% for the month and 7.65% for the year. Theres no sense of balance. But you make such a good point of all that matters is the sum total and people love to bucket the investments and they look at one thing, trend following, gold, whatever, hasnt gone anywhere for a few years. 2 pages.

Because what thats telling you is that most of these strategies are simply layering on more equity-linked correlation risk, or theyre shorting tails or theyre shorting vol and some components to generate their alpha. So, based on this, I like to say that recency bias is a systemic risk. But its literally using some historical period of correlations and covariance. Now, some people might turn to some of these other strategies, like shorting volatility or risk premia strategies, we tested those two, theyre a disaster, truly a disaster. The beauty of what you have, and its hard for, I think, a lot of people thinking about true diversification and what that actually means because you have three big muscle movements that are missing from other traditional portfolios, people may have 2%, 3%, I dont hardly ever see more than 5%, any of these being the precious metals kind of gold sleeve, the long vol, and then the trend following sleeves ends up being actually over half the portfolio. WebArtemis investors have commented on how much they like tapping into and manipulating the data and information 24/7. Meb: I just assume it just kind of does its own thing. Its always what we do, and always will be what we do. Sports has long figured this out. If an institution gives me capital to run my vol strategies, or a CTA strategy, of all our CTA strategy, oftentimes only needs anywhere between 2% to 20% of the money that comes on in, in order to run its core strategy. Diversification by market regime is what creates a steady growth cycle. Chris: No, I think youre right. Again, referencing my buddy Eric Crittenden used to do with investors is he would make all the asset classes anonymous, and give it to an investor and say, Okay, look at these stats, you pick, what do you want, and/or put them together and show the final portfolios. And of course, he was looking at the trend following world, invariably, they would end up with a huge chunk and trend following of which they hadnt done. If you look at any range of history, of financial history, where stocks and bonds have been going up together at an incredible pace. Chris: You consider fixed income worked as a wonderful hedge in 08, well, you were able to take rates from 5% down to zero. If you were relying on fixed income to help you in March, well, there was a period of time where fixed income was actually declining simultaneously with stocks at the same time, which is also what is happening now, or happened today, at least. Disclaimer: Meb Faber is the co-founder and chief investment officer at Cambria Investment Management. Well, one of things I tested is I actually looked at a buy the dip strategy, going back 100 years, we went bankrupt three times, employing that strategy in a kind of systematic way. SEC form, multiple filers or classes of filers, and much more.***. And then we had this kind of rise in interest rates and commodity prices in the fourth quarter. Or even the wintertime is quite nice, actually. Thats a dragon. In the same vein, if you were that GI coming back from World War II, you wanted to be in cash and long vol., thats the thing that worked during the Great Depression. And the COVID crisis actually was this incredible testing ground for the theory. When equities are killing it, rebalancing out of equities into something like long vol and CTAs that are losing money, most people cant do it. And we see how it did during the pandemic, as well as talk about the optimal portfolio to help you grow and protect your wealth for the next 100 years. Chris: This is the problem. Thats the key.
