3 Model Portfolios, A New Way to Diversify

Model portfolios have been growing in popularity in recent years, with many large investing platforms now offering an increasingly wide variety of model portfolios.
Durig Capital explores the reasons why.

Durig Capital is excited to introduce three new model portfolio strategies composed of a variety of ETFs, Mutual Funds, and Index Funds. Model portfolios have been growing in popularity in recent years, with many large investing platforms now offering an increasingly wide variety of model portfolios.

In finance, diversification is the process of allocating capital in a way that reduces the exposure to any one particular asset or risk. A common path towards diversification is to reduce risk or volatility by investing in a variety of assets. If asset prices do not change in perfect synchronicity, a diversified portfolio will have less variance than the weighted average variance of its constituent assets, and often less volatility than the least volatile of its constituents.

One of the key benefits that model portfolios can offer investors is a quick and simple method of diversifying across many areas of the market; a single Mutual Fund or ETF may encompass several different industries or market sectors. Another favorable aspect of a model portfolio is the ability to rebalance quickly and efficiently, allowing for more agile portfolio management.

Leveraging the models of managers whose specialized skill sets differ from those of our own allows us to offer a more holistic approach to managing client investments while still keeping costs down.

While there is still an income component contained within these model portfolios, they tend to lean more towards offering investors increased exposure to equity markets and primarily target growth and income. An overview can be found below for each model portfolio below.

MultiStrategy 75-25

Strategy Overview: This multistrategy model participates in U.S. Equity trends by allocating 75% to U.S. Equity Markets that are outperforming the market, while also featuring a tactical fixed income component through an allocation of 25% to fixed income through a rotating mix of High Yield, Treasury Notes and Cash Equivalents. The strategy aims to offer investors with tactical exposure to fixed income markets, seeking total return, income, and capital appreciation via U.S. Equity.

This method allows investors to analyze the market from the big picture all the way down to individual stocks. This differs from the bottom-up approach, which begins with individual stocks’ fundamentals and eventually expands to include the global economy.

Key Benefits:

Designed for Growth and Income
Participate in U.S. Equity Trends
Utilizes a Flexible Bond Approach

A Note from the Manager:

“The [equity component of the] strategy is grounded in a quantitatively based relative strength research process. It seeks to identify and participate in the leading U.S. equity styles (growth & value), factors (such as momentum, volatility, and quality), and market capitalization (large, medium and small).”

“Pursue opportunities in the high yield sector while having the ability to allocate to safer fixed income sectors when indicated…. [The fixed income component of the] strategy is comprised of three fixed income sectors (high yield bonds, Treasuries and short-term Treasuries/cash equivalents). The strategy employs a ‘top-down‘ quantitative relative strength research process to rank the investment universe based on strong relative performance or momentum.”
