Given our allocation shift from less bonds to more stocks, a shift that creates more potential volatility or dispersion from the mean, this concept needs to be understood.<\/p>\n<p>In this example, you could say the expected return is the average outcome of 6.8%. Just as in the real world, <strong>the annual return is very rarely the expected return<\/strong>. Investors must deal with divergences from the expected outcome, sometimes rather large divergences. Dealing correctly is where compounded returns (what actually matters) are made.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to be better in the tails, you\u2019ve heard us say that. In right tails, we want to participate. In left tails, we want to minimize the damage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Right tail: Large divergences from the expected outcome to the upside -we like these<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Left Tail: Large divergences from the expected outcome to the downside \u2013 we don\u2019t like these<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Durability in the tails reduces the volatility tax, and closes the gap between the simple average and the compounded average. In other words, it improves the compounded return and therefore increases the terminal value of the invested portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>As we move through time, your portfolio\u2019s success depends on how it handles the outcomes that are outside of expectations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Your Portfolios <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope this note is read. I hope it\u2019s understood. The math may sound complicated, but it is as straightforward as can be.<\/p>\n<p>Asset allocation is what matters. If you can solve problems at that level, everything else is easier. We think there is a massive allocation problem with the ownership of fixed income. I\u2019ll spare you of all the reasons we believe this.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is the ownership of optionality.<\/p>\n<p>Own the risk, hedge the tails.<\/p>\n<p>Our entire approach is designed to own risk assets, as we believe they are the stronger engine to drive returns. We want to hold negatively correlated hedges to protect against the extreme left tails that inevitably occur. The hedges are the brakes.<\/p>\n<p>This is different than the traditional approach, the one that allocates away from risk assets in favor of things that have what we believe to be inferior engines for returns, all in the name of dampening volatility.<\/p>\n<p>We want volatility. Specifically, upside volatility. We want to avoid massive drawdowns, or the left tails. We do that through owning hedges. Return \/ Vol is not the risk metric that concerns us. We want Return \/ Drawdown to be as attractive as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of our hedges, and the convexity in their payoff in a left tail, allows us to own the risk confidently.<\/p>\n<p>The team put together a write up that illustrates how using long volatility can benefit portfolios, and free investors of the emotional distractions that come with investing:\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/4896827.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net\/hubfs\/4896827\/Content%20Hub\/Fund%20Materials%201%20to%201%20Only\/ETF%20Strategy%20Papers\/A%20Modern%20Approach%20to%206040%20Using%20Options-Based%20ETFs.pdf\">A Modern Approach to 60:40<\/a><\/strong> (a must read, in my opinion).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Going Forward<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There will be bumps along the way, without a doubt. We will experience negative returns from time to time. The ever-present risk in the market is why there is potential for return.<\/p>\n<p>We are confident that if we can improve allocations to perform better in the tails, better outcomes are ahead.<\/p>\n<p>We are working daily to continue to earn your trust.
