Rolling Performance ¹

Growth of a Dollar ¹

This chart demonstrates the cumulative effect of a continuous investment, adding monthly returns to an initial equity value of $1.00 USD to demonstrate performance over time. Grey columns display the monthly returns of the core portfolio.

Risk vs Reward ¹

This chart shows the average of rolling 1 year returns (center value), plus or minus one deviation (1 above, 1 below), and the best and worst 1 year performance (2 above, 2 below) of a continuous investment. Rolling period analysis is a more robust assessment of return, resulting in many more observations than traditional combined annual growth rates. The greater the return, the more scruity an investor should place on its risk, defined here by its standard deviation. Absolute return strategies respect risk, controlling downside while positioning the portfolio to capture major advances over time.

Notes

1 - Portfolio returns represent those hypothetical returns based on a 100% systematic backtest using an inception date of January 1, 1996 and an initial portfolio equity value of $100,000 USD, are net of monthly management and quarterly incentive fees, and include $25 USD round trip brokerage commissions plus an average of $56 USD round trip slippage including charges incurred as a result of both opening / closing trades and any trades required to roll futures contracts.
