Portfolio Description

Levered Risk Parity is likely too high-octane to hold as a total portfolio solution since this much leverage seems to create undue variance drag. However, it could be an interesting portfolio to embed as a sleeve in another portfolio. The “equal weight” construction showcases how a dynamic weighting algorithm can adapt allocation over time, allowing each asset class to leave an impact on the portfolio as a whole. Adding a risk-mitigating sleeve may be an interesting paring for this portfolio.
