Model Portfolios

No single portfolio fits every investor. We publish two kinds: Core portfolios built to be run as standalone strategies, and Specialty portfolios — sector or thematic ideas that work as sleeves inside a diversified plan, not on their own.

Not sure where to start? Core 20 is the flagship. Strong returns with a smoother ride. The one we'd pick if we could only pick one.

Sector Alpha

The sector-allocation layer of our methodology, executed in the eleven SPDR sector ETFs at the same weights as Core 20. Holdings auto-update when Core 20 rebalances.

Backed by 25 years of empirical research showing sector tilts alone beat the S&P 500 by 355 percentage points over the full Core 20 backtest window. Read the research →

Core portfolios

Standalone strategies · diversified · long-term core holdings

Diversified portfolios built to be the foundation of an individual investor's active sleeve. Run any one of them as your primary strategy. Backtested across multiple decades. Risk-managed.

Specialty portfolios

Sector ideas · sleeve allocation · not standalone

Read this before clicking through. Specialty portfolios are sector-concentrated or thematic ideas portfolios. They are not designed to be run as a standalone strategy. Volatility and drawdowns are meaningfully higher than Core portfolios. Best uses: a small sleeve (5-10%) inside a larger diversified plan, or a research watchlist for individual stock ideas. Sector strategies require longer time horizons and higher tolerance for drawdowns.

More Models in Development

New Core portfolios and additional Specialty sector models are being backtested. We'll publish them as they're ready.
