The tables and chart below below display 2019 performance data for our Correction Protection Model (CPM).
CPM’s Purpose & Key Features:
- A defensive, quantitatively-driven model that
- has historically produced exceptional risk-adjusted performance by
- protecting investors against market declines
- without sacrificing long term performance.
More About CPM
- CPM is binary. It is either Risk On (invested in the market) or Risk Off (out of the market). There are no short positions, leveraged longs, or hedging via derivatives.
- CPM is not a returns-driven model. It was designed to protect investor assets during adverse market conditions while taking advantage of the market’s historical propensity to move higher over time.
- CPM utilizes 3 quantitative inputs.
- CPM uses the S&P 500 as a proxy for the market.
