In the long-term, markets follow economic cycles
- Economic behaviour tends to be cyclical in the long term, which can present opportunities.
- These cycles may take many years to complete.
Short-term market behaviour has little bearing on long-term market performance
- The market is emotional and short-sighted.
- This market volatility provides short-term and long-term investment opportunities
Short-term Investment Management can complement a Long-term Strategy
- A long-term strategy can work alongside a short-term strategy, as long as the underlying methodology does not conflict.
Cross correlation of assets can improve the long-term efficiency of a portfolio
- Increasing the Alpha of a portfolio is an efficient way to improve the long-term return for a given estimated volatility.
- Recognising correlations between assets and asset classes can improve returns while reducing volatility.
