Model Portfolio Disclosure of Website Portfolios (“Portfolio Construction Demonstration Portfolios”).
(“VH”) is an SEC registered investment adviser who offers one or more model portfolio strategies to its financial services firm clients. Registration with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or expertise. VH offers, among other portfolio strategies, the Website Portfolios which are “Naïve Diversification”, “Classical 60 / 40”, “Equal Weight” and “Systematic Risk Optimisation”. The model portfolios illustrated in this website are hypothetical. The model is managed based upon the output from mathematical algorithms. Model performance and related risk metrics are not derived from live trades and are not influenced by emotional or subjective reactions to extraneous market, economic, political and other factors. The risk of back-tested hypothetical performance is that an algorithm can be revised or adjusted to obtain favorable performance results during the relevant historical time periods. There is no assurance that back-tested results could, or would, have simulated actual client performance during the relevant time periods. The strategy underlying the back-tested results may be changed at any time with the benefit of hindsight in order to obtain and show more favorable performance results.
The “Naïve Diversification” is constructed using a fixed allocation algorithm assigning equal weights to four liquid US equity index ETFs.
The “Classical 60 / 40” is constructed using a fixed allocation algorithm assigning weights of 60% to a US Equity ETF and 40% to a US Bond ETF.
The “Equal Weight” is constructed using a fixed allocation algorithm assigning equal weights to seven ETFs across US Equity, Bond, Currency and Precious Metals.
The “Systematic Risk Optimisation” is constructed using a fully systematic portfolio optimisation toolkit, with an objective function designed to work with the risk contributions of each component. It is constructed with time varying weights rebalancing every 13 months. It allows the same asset mix as “Equal Weight” portfolio, above, but is not constrained to allocate to all assets.
The performance returns and risk metrics illustrated do not represent actual client accounts and do not incorporate cash inflows or outflows and are gross of the highest VH management fee and trading costs which is negotiable. Bear in mind returns will be further reduced by the amount of the client facing adviser’s management fee. Returns reflect since inception, one, five, ten‐year, and inception to date periods and are reflected in U.S. dollars and assume that dividends are reinvested. Model returns are calculated by using daily returns of the underlying securities using data sourced from independent third parties. All securities within the model portfolio are weighted in variable proportions based on purely algorithmic processes. The weights may vary with time. Some weighting algorithms are simplistic and are equivalent to equally weighting the underlying securities. For comparison purposes the model portfolios used in the demonstrations are compared against the "S&P Balanced Equity and Bond - Moderate Index", details of which are available on their website.
While VH believes the Website Portfolios' historical returns may be representative of future returns, future returns may be materially different for clients depending on a variety of factors including the prevailing market, economy, tax and political environment, cash flows and the timing of such cash flows, VH’s expectations, forecasts, and related factors. During the historical period, inflation, interest rates, and equity returns may be materially different relative to VH’s future expectations of performance.
The strategies employed in managing this and other model portfolios involve algorithmic techniques such as trend analysis, relative strength, moving averages, various momentum and related strategies. There is no assurance that these strategies and techniques will yield positive outcomes or prevent losses. The performance for such model(s) is derived from a 3rd party portfolio performance provider utilizing a variety of technical trading strategies and techniques. Technical trading models are mathematically driven based upon historical data and trends of domestic and foreign market trading activity, including various industry and sector trading statistics within such markets. Technical trading models utilize mathematical algorithms to attempt to identify when markets are likely to increase or decrease and identify appropriate entry and exit points. The primary risk of technical trading models is that historical trends and past performance cannot predict future trends and there is no assurance that the mathematical algorithms employed are designed properly, new data is accurately incorporated, or the software can accurately predict future market, industry and sector performance.
This information is intended to provide an overview of the model portfolios and the presented hypothetical performance history and related risk metrics are not intended to replicate the actual performance of the model portfolios. Rather the information is intended to provide a general framework to understand the concept, strategy and allocation structure employed by VH in managing the model portfolios.
An investor’s personal goals, risk tolerance, income needs, portfolio size, asset allocation and securities preferences, income tax and estate planning strategy should be reviewed before committing to a specific investment program. Please consult with your financial advisor to discuss the appropriateness of any particular strategy prior to investing.
All investments involve risk. Principal is subject to loss and actual returns may be negative. Returns are not guaranteed in any way and may vary widely from year to year. Returns will be lower by the amount of the client facing adviser’s fees.
