  • The Portfolio Currency-Hedging Decision, by Objective and Block by Block
    The portfolio currency-hedging decision, by objective and block by block Vanguard Research August 2018 Daren R. Roberts; Paul M. Bosse, CFA; Scott J. Donaldson, CFA, CFP ®; Matthew C. Tufano ■ Investors typically make currency-hedging decisions at the asset class rather than the portfolio level. The result can be an incomplete and even misleading perspective on the relationship between hedging strategy and portfolio objectives. ■ We present a framework that puts the typical asset-class approach in a portfolio context. This approach makes clear that the hedging decision depends on the strategic asset allocation decision that aligns a portfolio’s performance with an investor’s objectives. ■ A number of local market and idiosyncratic variables can modify this general rule, but this approach is a valuable starting point. It recognizes that the strategic asset allocation decision is the most important step toward meeting a portfolio’s goals. And hedging decisions that preserve the risk-and-return characteristics of the underlying assets lead to a portfolio-level hedging strategy that is consistent with the portfolio’s objectives. Investors often look at currency hedging from an asset- • The hedging framework begins with the investor’s class perspective—asking, for example, “Should I hedge risk–return preference. This feeds into the asset-class my international equity position?”1 Combining individual choices, then down to the decisions on diversification portfolio component hedging decisions results in and currency hedging. a portfolio hedge position. This begs the question: Is • Those with a long investment horizon who are a building-block approach the right way to arrive at the comfortable with equity’s high potential return and currency-hedging view for the entire portfolio?

  • Six Steps to an Effective Asset Allocation Step 1
    SIX STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE ASSET ALLOCATION STEP 1 Define Your Goals Just as important as what you’re saving for is when you’ll need the money. Whether your goal is short term (up to three years), intermediate term (three to 10 years) or long term (10 years or longer) you will need to balance the amount of risk you are willing to assume with an investment strategy designed to meet your goal. The longer your time horizon, the more you should lean towards equities to take advantage of the potential returns historically associated with stock investments. The shorter your time horizon, the more you will need to weight your allocation toward fixed and cash investments to avoid the short- term volatility associated with stocks. If your aim is building retirement security, it’s important to remember that your time horizon extends far beyond the day you retire. Depending on when you retire, it is possible that your retirement will span 30 years or longer, which means your investments will need to keep working to provide future income and keep pace with inflation. Consider leaving some of your money invested in stocks, which provide the potential of growth to support your future needs. STEP 2 Gauge Your Risk Tolerance With investing, your risk tolerance should be based on two factors: your time horizon (see Step 1) and your attitude toward investment volatility. For example, if you’re not comfortable with the stock market’s inevitable ups and downs, you may be inclined to weight your portfolio toward fixed-income investments such as bonds and money markets.

  • FX Effects: Currency Considerations for Multi-Asset Portfolios
    Investment Research FX Effects: Currency Considerations for Multi-Asset Portfolios Juan Mier, CFA, Vice President, Portfolio Analyst The impact of currency hedging for global portfolios has been debated extensively. Interest on this topic would appear to loosely coincide with extended periods of strength in a given currency that can tempt investors to evaluate hedging with hindsight. The data studied show performance enhancement through hedging is not consistent. From the viewpoint of developed markets currencies—equity, fixed income, and simple multi-asset combinations— performance leadership from being hedged or unhedged alternates and can persist for long periods. In this paper we take an approach from a risk viewpoint (i.e., can hedging lead to lower volatility or be some kind of risk control?) as this is central for outcome-oriented asset allocators. 2 “The cognitive bias of hindsight is The Debate on FX Hedging in Global followed by the emotion of regret.

  • Building Efficient Hedge Fund Portfolios August 2017
    Building Efficient Hedge Fund Portfolios August 2017 Investors typically allocate assets to hedge funds to access return, risk and diversification characteristics they can’t get from other investments. The hedge fund universe includes a wide variety of strategies and styles that can help investors achieve this objective. Why then, do so many investors make significant allocations to hedge fund strategies that provide the least portfolio benefit? In this paper, we look to hedge fund data for evidence that investors appear to be missing out on the core benefits of hedge fund investing and we attempt to understand why. The. Basics Let’s start with the assumption that an investor’s asset allocation is fairly similar to the general investing population. That is, the portfolio is dominated by equities and equity‐like risk. Let’s also assume that an investor’s reason for allocating to hedge funds is to achieve a more efficient portfolio, i.e., higher return per unit of risk taken. In order to make a portfolio more efficient, any allocation to hedge funds must include some combination of the following (relative to the overall portfolio): Higher return Lower volatility Lower correlation The Goal Identify return streams that deliver any or all of the three characteristics listed above. In a perfect world, the best allocators would find return streams that accomplish all three of these goals ‐ higher return, lower volatility, and lower correlation. In the real world, that is quite difficult to do. There are always trade‐ offs. In some cases, allocators accept tradeoffs to increase the probability of achieving specific objectives.

  • Beyond Asset Allocation: Three Pillars of a Robust Retirement Josh Davis Managing Director Head of Client Analytics Executive Summary
    IN DEPTH • JUNE 2020 AUTHORS Beyond Asset Allocation: Three Pillars of a Robust Retirement Josh Davis Managing Director Head of Client Analytics Executive Summary • Common wisdom holds that asset allocation has the biggest impact on portfolio returns. Yet for retirees, a far bigger factor is the sequence of returns in their portfolio. An uncooperative asset market early in retirement can have lifelong repercussions. • Fortunately, retirees can manage this risk with three pillars of retirement planning: a realistic, goal-oriented spending strategy; careful management of withdrawals to minimize Sean Klein Executive Vice President lifetime taxes; and an effort to maximize the value of their Social Security benefits. Client Solutions & Analytics • The effect of these three strategies, though small individually, is significant when they are combined. We estimate that a 65-year-old retiree with $1 million could enjoy up to 50% higher initial consumption and 30% higher lifetime consumption on an after-tax basis with the same level of risk. Introduction THE UNPREDICTABLE EFFECT OF ASSET ALLOCATION Despite the heavy focus it receives in the financial industry, asset allocation does not typically have the biggest impact on overall wealth in retirement. In general, additional investment risk is associated with a modestly higher chance of running out of money early in retirement, but investors should seek to offset risk with higher overall portfolio returns, which will be relied upon to sustain spending later in life. For retirees, though, this familiar investment relationship is distorted over time by taking distributions and thus spending down the portfolio. This small change can lead to many unintuitive results.

  • Vaneck NDR Managed Allocation Fund Let's Mingle
    June 2016 Let’s Mingle Get to Know the Combination of Market Indicators in the VanEck NDR Managed Allocation Fund In general, there are three broad styles of research used to assess market conditions and identify potential investment opportunities. Some people use macroeconomic research which examines the forces that impact markets or economies as a whole. Others prefer fundamental research, which aims to determine a security’s value by using company- and sector-level analysis. And lastly, there are those who rely exclusively on technical analysis, which looks at present and historical market activity, such as price levels and trading volume, to determine trends and patterns in the markets. So, which type of research should you use to guide your investment decisions? As with most questions when it comes to investing, there’s tremendous debate among the proponents of each school of thought. What is not in dispute, however, is that each of these disciplines has its advantages and, when used in conjunction, can provide complementary insight that may help effectively position a well-diversified portfolio across all market cycles. By combining macroeconomic, fundamental, and technical research, the VanEck NDR Managed Allocation Fund seeks to enhance portfolio return potential by overweighting asset classes expected to outperform and underweighting or exiting those expected to underperform. Many asset allocation strategies rely on just one type of analysis for their allocation and timing decisions. The VanEck NDR Managed Allocation Fund combines three research disciplines (macroeconomic, fundamental, and technical) using over 130 indicators to provide dynamic and thorough market analysis. vaneck.com | 800.826.2333 VanEck NDR Managed Allocation Fund A Tactical Solution to Core Asset Allocation VanEck has partnered with Ned Davis Research (NDR), a recognized leader in objective data analysis with a long history of researching financial market cycles and using technical signals to supplement macroeconomic and fundamental research.
