It’s now well-documented that 2022 is one of the worst years in history for financial markets. The logical next step is to look at what has happened next following the prior worst years for stocks, bonds and diversified portfolios. Last year was one of the worst years ever for stocks and the worst year ever for bonds.

A common reason to have fixed income exposure, often 40% of a portfolio, is to help manage equity market volatility. Longer bonds were down just as much as the S&P 500 in 2022, the longest of bonds were down more.

Return Stacked ETFs wrote a short paper in support of their ETF suite about how to incorporate return stacking into a portfolio. For anyone new, return stacking, also known as capital efficient, involves leverage to build a diversified portfolio. The idea is not that you would put 100% of a portfolio into that fund.

The idea of building an All-Weather portfolio of course has its appeal. The basic idea is to be much less volatile than the broad market or the typical 60/40 portfolio. It raises the question though of how much performance should an investor expect or be willing give up for the potential emotional comfort of an All-Weather portfolio.

For all the blog posts about about how to build alternatives into a portfolio, the idea from my perspective is how to compliment the equity allocation in a manner that is more effective than traditional fixed income exposure which hopefully leads to a better long term, risk adjusted returns. So far, it hasn't done that.

Crisis alpha is mentioned in the literature but unfortunately the fund lagged far behind the S&P 500 and the Vanguard Balanced Index Fund (VBAIX) in 2022. The fund builds a diverse portfolio of stocks and fixed income and layers long and short volatility in there to seek its objective. I am surprised how closely it tracks to VBAIX.
