Strategies

Staying defensive with focus on gold, commodities and long bonds

by Matthew MacClary|Published May 20, 2012

The Diversified ETFs portfolio is positioned defensively right now with half allocated to cash and short term bonds. The rest of the portfolio is committed to gold, commodities and long bonds.

I expect that the quantitative strategy will change to a more aggressive stance when the current short term S&P correction works through.

I have run portfolios since college, first focusing on tech and growth stocks, then moving to a Buffet-style value approach before settling on my current quantitative method that allows me to seek strong returns while taking on less risk.
