The alphaport® Protect Strategy

Dynamic asset allocation with a risk budget

Many institutional investors operate within a framework that requires adherence to a predefined risk budget. In such cases, portfolio protection strategies are often employed with the aim of avoiding a decline below a predetermined value threshold within a given investment horizon.

We have therefore enhanced our long-standing and proven alphaport® strategy with an integrated value protection mechanism: the alphaport® protect strategy combines the added value of the trusted alphaport® dynamic, which already provides the primary layer of risk mitigation, with the additional control of the risk budget through an effective value protection component.

The added value of the alphaport® protect strategy:

Dynamic management of the equity-bond allocation

  • Rule-based: Avoidance of psychologically induced misbehaviour
  • Consistent: equity exposure between 0% and 100%
  • Forecast-free: dispensing with the ‘uncertainty factor’ of return forecasts
  • Scientifically sound, tried and tested over many years

Strict risk control with lower value limit

  • Significant risk reduction due to the alphaport® strategy's dynamic risk management, proven over many years
  • Additional protect mechanism for adherence to the risk budget

Participation in good share price years

  • Gradual increase in the equity allocation as share prices rise
  • This improves equity market participation compared to a static allocation of 50% equities and 50% bonds

Long-term realisation of an additional return

  • By combining risk reduction in weak equity years and participation in good equity years, the alphaport® protect strategy delivers an additional return over a complete market cycle
  • The unique alphaport® logic, in conjunction with a lower value limit as part of the alphaport® protect concept, offers a better risk/return profile than traditional capital preservation concepts

Customised design

  • Basis: Client-specific asset allocation as well as return and risk specifications, including the specification of a risk budget or a lower value limit
  • On this basis, we customise the alphaport® protect strategy. The market indices and investment instruments used are selected in such a way that they are precisely tailored to the client's individual asset allocation and requirements
