Objective

The VizMetrics Max Sharpe folio is designed for investors seeking to create an ETF portfolio that responds to market conditions while maximizing risk-adjusted return. The risk-adjusted return is represented by the Sharpe Ratio. Visit www.VizMetrics.com for additional information about the VizMetrics Max Sharpe folio design and asset allocation.

Strategy

The VizMetrics Max Sharpe folio uses a tactical (also called “dynamic” or “active”) asset allocation approach. This folio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted return by choosing an asset allocation that maximizes the Sharpe ratio, which is a measure of risk-adjusted return developed by Nobel Laureate and Stanford Professor William Sharpe. This folio is allowed to choose from 8 ETFs that represent major asset classes: U.S. large-cap equity, U.S. small-cap equity, NASDAQ 100 equity, U.S. real estate, U.S. long-term treasury bonds, emerging markets equity, developed markets equity, and gold.
