Portfolio Description
This model portfolio uses Tactical Asset Allocation
. The following is the description on how in general the strategy works for this portfolio. It is for information purpose only. The actual implementation might be
different from the description in some situations where optimization has been implemented.
The strategy first derives trend scores of the 1 major asset classes: Fixed Income that are covered in Schwab Total Return Bond Plan. It then selects the top 2 risk assets and 1 fixed income asset.
1. Risk allocation: the risk profile of this portfolio is 100.0.
The total allocation of the 1 fixed income asset should be at least 100.0%.
2. Asset weights: risk assets selected are equally weighted by
default.
3. Fund selection: about 2 top performing funds among 10 available funds in the plan are chosen for each asset selected. They are usually equally weighted within
the asset by default.
4. Rebalance frequency: the portfolio is reviewed by the strategy program monthly
and the above steps are repeated. Asset weights are rebalanced back to target allocation if it is necessary. During a market downturn, the asset
exposure to risk assets might be reduced and is switched to fixed income instead to avoid big loss.
5.
