Practical Applications Summary In The Pragmatics of Private Markets Investing from the 2020 Fund Manager Selection special issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management, Karl Polen, chief investment officer of the Arizona State Retirement System, provides insights on private market investing from the vantage of nearly 40 years in the industry. Polen approaches private market investing from the perspective of investing in a business, and therefore he puts the emphasis on the private equity firm’s business strategy, company culture, and employees. Ultimately, private equity firms must also have fee structures that align with investor interests. TOPIC: Manager selection

Practical Applications Summary In Do as I Say, Not as I Do: An Analysis of Portfolio Development Recommendations Made by Financial Advisors, from the Spring 2020 issue of The Journal of Wealth Management, authors John Grable (of the University of Georgia), Amy Hubble (of Radix Financial), and Michelle Kruger (of Loras College) explore the variation of financial advisors’ asset allocations, from general best practices to hypothetical scenarios. While they find advisors’ general allocation strategies align with their scenario-specific allocations in most regards, they also discover that, in practice, advisors tend to subconsciously overweight their clients’ age and employment status. This overweighting leads to suboptimal allocation portfolios with lower risk and a higher ratio of bonds to equities. TOPICS: Portfolio construction, risk management, wealth management

Practical Applications Summary In Rebalance Timing Luck: The Difference Between Hired and Fired from the Summer 2019 issue of The Journal of Index Investing, authors Corey Hoffstein, Daniel “Justin” Sibears, and Nathan Faber (all of Newfound Research in Boston) warn that index fund managers may be overlooking a significant factor driving their investment performance: the date when they rebalance their portfolios. Rebalancing is essential to sound portfolio management, but most managers give little thought to when to do it. Hoffstein, Sibears, and Faber say that is a mistake. They introduce the concept of rebalance timing luck, showing that portfolios rebalanced in different months perform differently over time. This can mean major long-term earnings shortfalls for managers with bad rebalance timing luck. To solve this problem, the authors suggest dividing index funds into identically managed subportfolios, rebalancing the subportfolios on different dates equally spread out over the year, and then equally redistributing all of the fund’s assets across the subportfolios. They find that fund managers can substantially decrease the effects of rebalance timing luck just by dividing a fund into four subportfolios and rebalancing one per quarter—a simple way to potentially shield themselves and investors from bad rebalance timing luck.

Practical Applications Summary In When Growth Beats Value: Applying Momentum Filters to Growth and Value Portfolios, in the August 2019 edition of The Journal of Investing, Andrew Clare, James Seaton, and Stephen Thomas, all of ass Business School, City University, and Peter N. Smith of the University of York analyze momentum investing and whether simple adaptations of momentum factors can augment the performance of growth and value portfolios. They compare the returns from applying momentum-based trading rules to developed and emerging markets and to growth- and value-oriented investing. The crux of their article is a distinction between relative momentum, which ranks assets based on their performance against one another, and absolute momentum, which ranks assets based on whether they have displayed recent positive returns. The authors find that the performance gap between buying and holding a value portfolio over a growth portfolio shrinks after the application of a relative-momentum filter. They note that growth investing can generally outperform comparable value and conventional buy-and-hold strategies when investors use momentum-based rules, though value strategies can benefit as well. Trend following in particular offers significant benefits over a buy-and-hold strategy. The authors additionally find that absolute-momentum overlays deliver better returns overall than relative-momentum ones (except in the case of developed-market growth stocks), along with lower volatility and smaller drawdowns. TOPICS: Factor-based models, performance measurement, emerging
