Model Description
Tactical asset allocation model results from Jan 2011 to Jan 2021 are based on dual momentum model holding the best performing asset. Absolute momentum based trend following filter is
used to switch any selected assets that have a negative excess return over the risk free rate to Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF (VGLT). The model uses multiple weighted performance
windows to rank the assets by weighted average of asset performance. Tactical asset allocation model trades are executed using the end of month close price each month based on the end of
month signals.
