Regime-Adaptive Long/Short Equity (PSRAE)

Key Features

  • Highly liquid, transparent investments
  • Tactical models to minimize systematic risk
  • Multiple constructs to adapt to specific market states
  • Long and short positions

Strategy Description

ProfitScore’s Regime-Adaptive Long /Short Equity (PSRAE) is a highly liquid, systematic index trading S&P 500 Index securities. Depending on the market state – Low Vol or High Vol – trading decisions are driven by two different trading constructs. During Low Vol, the system is designed to identify and dynamically capture gains based on persistent directional moves. As volatility increases, markets often become increasingly unstable and inefficient. During these High Vol states, trade length shortens as the program quickly adjusts exposures to capitalize on market inefficiencies. This program’s most significant value generally occurs during periods of high volatility and market stress when many other strategies are faced with performance challenges.

Strategy Goals: A strategy that seeks to maximize total return from capital appreciation while minimizing potential losses during periods of market volatility.
Created for Investors:
  • - Seeking to reduce portfolio volatility and increase the chances of achieving better long-term results.
  • - Looking for diversification, daily liquidity, and investment transparency.
  • - Hoping for an opportunity to generate positive returns irrespective of market conditions.
Investment Framework: The Strategy is based on the premise that US equity markets can be characterized by two distinct states: low volatility and high volatility. By aligning our approach to benefit during the prevailing market state, our goal is to optimize risk-adjusted returns and improve the consistency of portfolio performance.
Using the same investment strategies for low- and high-volatility states would be equivalent to bringing a golf club to a tennis match. The ProfitScore Regime-Adaptive Long/Short Equity (PSRAE) Strategy, first identifies the market state and then uses the most beneficial investment strategy for that market environment:
Allocation Considerations: Depending on how you allocate your portfolio, the ProfitScore Regime Adaptive Equity Strategy can fit into one of several allocation objectives: Large Cap Equity, Long/Short Equity, Liquid Alternatives, and Managed Futures.
Opportunity Capture: By adjusting exposures (Long or Short) based on market conditions, the strategy can potentially capture growth opportunities during rising markets and profit from falling markets.
Diversification: Since the strategy's correlation with equity markets can vary from positive to negative, it may help diversify a portfolio and improve risk-adjusted returns.
Portfolio Stabilization: The dynamic nature of the strategy may help stabilize a portfolio during periods of market stress, providing a buffer against significant declines in equity markets.

The ProfitScore Regime-Adaptive Long/Short Equity (PSRAE) Strategy aims to provide better risk-adjusted returns over the long term by providing consistent returns across a range of market conditions. It is designed to help investors ride out short-term market fluctuations and focus on long-term investment goals.
