(More speculation by me, good chance of being way off)
Another similar investment idea: Instead of buying a managed futures fund, buy value and momentum funds while shorting the broad market to produce net zero stock exposure, and then apply lots of leverage.
I feel like it’s worth emphasizing the benefits of this more. Can’t this significantly reduce the risk and volatility of your portfolio? OTOH, some of the funds you mention have only been around for a few years, and they have done really poorly, as Paul pointed out. I don’t have confidence that they’re well-managed.
For value stocks, what about buying VOOV or Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B? Worth keeping in mind that BRK.B has dropped ~50% during some crashes, and VOOV has only been around since 2010.
For those interested in global health and poverty, you may end up (very) correlated with Gates, Buffett and the Gates Foundation if you’re investing in value ETFs and the strategies happen to lead to similar choices, and obviously if you buy BRK.B. I think most of Gates’ wealth is no longer in Microsoft, but I’m not sure how much he has left in it.
