The SVAM Tactical Trend Portfolio pursues a multi-strategy approach to trading across a diversified blend of futures markets. The portfolio dynamically allocates exposures based upon a proprietary assessment of the prevailing market environment (e.g., expanding vs. contracting volatility, increasing vs. decreasing correlation, etc.) and allocates across many models (over 100) and timeframes (short, intermediate and long) in order to obtain the best (absolute) risk-adjusted returns, regardless of market environment and conditions.
The Tactical Trend Portfolio employs a systematic process to dynamically balance portfolio exposures across more than 100 distinct trading models and seeks to ensure optimal exposures across the prevailing opportunity set.
