Rationale
Recovery Takes Longer Than Decline
The US market compounds well over decades. It also delivers drawdowns that take years to recover. Investors who sell during those periods rarely return in time to capture the recovery.
The US Equity Strategy sizes exposure by rule. It stays invested while conditions support it and steps back when they do not.
Stay invested through ordinary volatility.
Reduce exposure during sustained market declines.
Re-enter on evidence, not on sentiment.
Avoid the sell-low, buy-high behaviour loop.
Apply identical rules in every regime.

Methodology
Results are backtested, net of assumed trading costs, and calculated on historical data. Hypothetical performance does not represent actual trading and carries the benefit of hindsight. Full assumptions are documented in each report.
Mechanics
Rules, Not Opinions
The model reads market data continuously and sets exposure to SPYx accordingly. Favourable conditions mean long exposure. Deteriorating conditions mean reduced or zero exposure.
