Portfolio Performance

TRE Portfolio Performance

​

In looking at a portfolio performance, usually what one is interested in is the cumulative return (capital gains and dividends reinvested). An extensive back-testing of risk-cumulative return has been carried out by Sherman Page. For details see backtesting_tre. Just a few examples of these studies are given below. 

Figure 1 compares the cumulative portfolio returns over 12 years for various risk (TRE) values, with the returns of SPY (an ETF of SP500 stocks). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note that high risk values yield very high returns. But they are also volatile. Our research shows that during downturns the high risk portfolios can drop sometimes even more than SPY, but during upturns they are so high that on the average over many years the cumulative returns outperform the SPY. 

 

In Figure 2 we will compare the performance of our portfolios with the performance of portfolios constructed using beta as the risk measure.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 2. The TRE out performs both SPY and Beta portfolio. Note that Beta value is high risk. TRE is medium-high risk.  Portfolios consist of 16 stocks around the risk values shown.

 

In the above examples shown, we used stocks in SPY to construct portfolios and compared their performance with SPY. 

We now compare the performance of our TRE portfolios with that of  ONEQ.  ONEQ is the Fidelity Nasdaq ETF consisting of 1000 stocks from NASDAQ. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 3. Comparison TRE based Portfolio performance with that of ONEQ. The portfolio consists of 15 stocks ichosen from QNEQ in the range of risk shown.
