MODEL DELIVERY:
Portfolio management, powered by QuantStreet.

QuantStreet offers tactical and strategic model portfolios at a range of risk levels. Our model portfolios help you implement an ETF-based asset allocation strategy that’s based on a proprietary machine learning algorithm designed by our CIO.

Have you considered outsourcing your firm’s CIO function but ultimately decided to keep the investing decisions in-house? Do you have multiple advisers who invest similarly-situated clients inconsistently? Would a rigorous investment strategy help?    

QuantStreet’s model portfolios may be your solution. Each month, you’ll receive our latest model portfolios at a range of risk levels, from conservative to aggressive. Once you identify each client’s risk level, you will have a suitable model portfolio that can be customized by your team fit the client’s specific needs.

QuantStreet’s model portfolios can be used for the asset allocation component of your strategy, or they can serve as a full OCIO-style solution

Optimal Portfolios by Risk Level

Technology and data are changing everything. How about your investments?

To help you manage your own clients’ portfolios in a rigorous and analytically consistent manner, QuantStreet offers a model portfolio subscription service. Our models are implemented using highly liquid, low-cost exchange traded funds (ETFs). On a monthly basis, subscribers receive two sets of ETF-based model portfolios:

Strategic portfolios reflect long-term risk-return tradeoffs in the market. These portfolio change slowly over time.

Tactical portfolios are designed using QuantStreet’s proprietary machine learning forecasting model. These react dynamically to changing market conditions and have monthly turnover between 5-15%.

Both sets of portfolios reflect concentration and other position limits (e.g., the investment grade allocation can’t be higher than 50% of the U.S. Treasury allocation) which are customizable to user requirements. We can work with subscribers to customize the model portfolios to their specific use cases.

Passive allocation is a good starting point, but it fails to recognize that some assets are more or less attractive at different points in the economic cycle. We solve this problem through an active portfolio construction approach. First, we use a machine learning algorithm to forecast asset class returns. Then, we construct portfolios based on those forecasts to match client risk preferences. Our models are adaptive and change over time as economic and market conditions evolve

Portfolio Implementation

We invest primarily using ETFs (exchange traded funds). ETFs have a number of key benefits:

Data lines and dots

ETFs are low cost and highly diversified. Purchasing a single ETF can be like buying hundreds or thousands of individual stocks and bonds.

Our ETF providers are leading global asset managers (Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street, etc.).

Our asset classes include US stocks, international and emerging market stocks, US government and corporate bonds, and real estate investment trusts.

We also invest in value and momentum ETFs.

  • Value is a strategy that involves buying stocks with relatively attractive valuations.
  • Momentum involves buying past winning stocks, and avoiding past losing stocks.

ETFs are highly liquid. They allow us to dynamically reposition the portfolio in response to changing market conditions and opportunities, at low cost to our clients.

We do not use leverage or short-selling in our investments.

Sample Portfolio

In this sample portfolio, the assets offering the most attractive reward/risk tradeoffs are S&P 500 stocks, value stocks, high-yield bonds, and an ETF tracking real estate investment trusts.

The portfolio can also maintain some amount of cash, in this case 2.5% of portfolio value.

The portfolio is highly diversified and owns thousands of individual securities via the ETFs.

We rebalance your investment portfolio regularly.

Portfolio weights change over time to reflect changing opportunities and risks.

Assets with zero current allocation may have allocations in the future.
