RiskFile Porfolio Composer: construct adaptive optimal portfolios RiskFile ETF Portfolio program is designed to engineer low cost, passive indexing investments (ETFs) into an active managed portfolio targeted superior risk adjusted returns. Its investment strategy is characterized by the following principles: 1) Radical diversification Investors benefit from a clear portfolio organization with radically diversified asset classes, including: Cash Sectors and Industries Bonds Gold Domestic Equity Real Estate Global Equity Commodity Emerging Market Reverse ETFs 2) Laser accurate matching with investor s risk preferences RiskFile s view is that traditional mean variance algorithms do not work. Our proprietary algorithm is designed to balance the tradeoffs between minimizing the risks of losing money and the risks of underperformingthe benchmarks. Based on newest acedemic development, the mathematic model fully considers the complicated interactive relationship of the diversified asset classes to achieve the most required balance. Major characteristics: The resulted portfolios make sense. Our model is not highly sensitive to the minor changes of the return/risk assumptions and does not generate extreme, unrealistic portfolios. It responds to investor's risk preference and produces portfolios accurately matching their choices. Optimized Portfolio Macro Economic Projection Capital Market Forecasting Constructing Algorithm Auto reaction pattern analysis 16,000 scenario test Comparable history analysis Markets valuation level analysis Surprise analysis Return per unit of risk Minimize absolute and relative risk 3) Responding to the changes in the macro economy/capital markets In assessing the relative risk of different asset classes, RiskFile model first forms a framework of the directions of the global economy and capital markets. This is done by our proprietary Macro Reaction Pattern Analysis, as shown above. Then relative expected returns of the different asset classes are incorporated into the portfolio construction. This way, the portfolios are designed to respond to the changes of the investment environment and to be managed actively. 2009-10-2 Description
