Beta, correlation, captures and tracking error use monthly returns against SPY. Captures compare compounded, annualised returns in months when SPY rose or fell. The volatility-matched reference is the 3-month T-bill plus SPY’s excess return scaled by the ratio of the two volatilities, with no borrowing cost or fund fee. VaR and expected shortfall use historical daily returns.

Months to recover: from the trough of the largest fall to the first new high, in calendar months. The longest time below a prior peak is the longest run from a high to the next new high. The reserved period, at the end of the window, was read once and never re-run; 1.7 years is too short to prove or disprove anything on its own. The dates are on the Methodology page and in the public record.

How is AFAQ constructed?

  • Multi-asset defensive strategy

    13.5%

    A diversified allocation that adapts to market trends.

  • Flexible allocation strategy

    36%

    A mix of growth opportunities and defensive components, with allocation adjusted according to defined rules.

  • Market volatility response strategy

    40.5%

    Adjusts investment exposure to market volatility, moving to cash-like exposure when defined conditions are met.

  • Relative Strength Strategy

    10%

    Selects from a defined set of investment instruments based on price trends and relative strength, reviewing its selections daily. It halves its exposure when its sharp-market-decline conditions are met.

These percentages represent allocations to strategies. Each strategy’s underlying holdings change according to its rules.

Risks to understand

The portfolio may experience sharp fluctuations because the Relative Strength Strategy uses leveraged, inverse and volatility-linked instruments. Part of the portfolio may also have digital-asset exposure under defined conditions. During rapid market declines, losses may occur before risk-reduction rules take effect. These rules do not guarantee that losses will be avoided, and future losses may exceed historical drawdowns.

Frequently asked questions.

Does the portfolio allocation stay fixed?

Why do we compare the portfolio with SPY?

To show performance alongside a familiar US equity reference and consider return and drawdown together. The portfolio differs from SPY in its composition and risk level.
