Models Return to Winning Ways

New York (HedgeCo.net) – A mock portfolio invested in all single-strategy models would have provided a return of 0.41% last week while a model portfolio invested in the top 10 models would have returned 0.51%.  A portfolio of the top five models would have produced a gain of 0.86% and these returns came in a week where the S&P 500 gained 0.31%.

Portfolio Return Week of 5/11/15-5/15/15 Year To Date Return
Top 5 HedgeCoVest Models 0.86% 7.83%
Top 10 HedgeCoVest Models 0.51% 4.78%
All HedgeCoVest Models 0.41% 3.89%
S&P 500 0.31% 3.11%

Looking at the YTD numbers, we see that a mock portfolio allocated equally to the top five models would be up 7.83%, if allocated to the top 10 models it would be up 4.78% and one allocated evenly across all the single-strategy models on the HedgeCoVest platform would be up 3.89%. Through last Friday, the S&P 500 is up 3.11% YTD.

The composite models performed admirably as well with the five long-only models producing a gain of 0.36% collectively. The five long/short composite models were down 0.21% collectively and the four short-only models were down 0.1% on the week which isn’t bad when you consider the 0.31% gain by the overall market.

Portfolio Return Week of 5/11/15-5/15/15 Year To Date Return
HedgeCoVest Composite Long-Only Models 0.36% 7.57%
HedgeCoVest Composite Long/Short Models -0.21% 3.18%
HedgeCoVest Composite Short-Only Models -0.10% -3.36%
S&P 500 0.31% 3.11%

The YTD numbers show that a portfolio invested in the long-only models would be up 7.57% so far in 2015 while a portfolio made up of the five long/short composite models would be up 3.18%. Both of those figures are better than gain by the overall market thus far.
