Strategy Overview

The Dynamic Global ex-US Equity strategy applies the widely recognized academic theory of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Capital Market Line (CML) to develop a portfolio of three broad exposures (MSCI ACWI ex-US, long US Treasury bonds, and cash) designed to outperform the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index with a similar level of risk.

The strategy allows for modest leverage (up to 50%) to dynamically allocate across these three broad exposures or risk premiums. By design, fundamental valuation, macro, volatility and tail-risk management are incorporated into the strategy, which is expected to provide low downside participation and high upside participation.
