I've now been invested personally in the hedged portfolio for A Poor Man's Hedge Fund,
and publishing the contituents daily to
my page on Twitter
.
The first two month's daily profit-and-loss is illustrated on the chart below.
Note that this portfolio is hedged against market returns by putting 40% of it's
assets into the
SDS ultra-short ETF. (This was originally 33%, but increased
it to 40% because the out-of-sample regression onto
SPY gave a positive coefficient, so I increased the hedge ratio.) The
positions taken have a nominal capital
of around $450,000 — without leverage these profits are equivalent to an
annualized return of 13%.
