Once a strategy is selected for investment, users purchase the stocks that the system suggests and rebalance quarterly when new holdings are disclosed. Get started today.
For investors who seek more convenient options that don't require trading, AlphaClone offers a family of Core Strategies that rebalance automatically via our investment accounts. View our Core Strategies.
Clones can be created by following the stock picks of a single manager or a custom group of managers. We currently track over 280 managers in our database.
Our cloning strategies include:
- Top Holdings: invest in largest positions
- Best Ideas: invest in largest NEW positions
- Popularity: invest in positions held by the largest number of managers
Here are a couple of examples:
A clone that holds Seth Klarman's ten largest holdings each quarter beat the
S&P 500 by 223% since 2000 (as of 4/30/2010).
A clone that holds the ten most popular stocks amongst our Value Masters
Fund Group beat the S&P 500 by 287% since 2000 (as of 4/30/2010).
AlphaClone's research service enables you to track the moves of hundreds of fund managers and quickly identify stocks that are moving in and out of favor. You can follow the stock picks of any single manager, or analyze the collective holdings of fund groups such as our Hedge Fund Index, Value Masters, or Top Endowments groups.
You can also create your own fund groups based on managers you think add value.
And the best part is, you can instantaneously backtest the groups' performance for various strategies such as Top Holdings, Best Ideas, and Popularity.
Take for example our Tiger Cubs fund group, comprised of managers from legendary hedge fund Tiger Management. You can tap into the collective intelligence of this group, test various what-if scenarios, and view ten-year performance track records. For instance, our Tiger Cubs Top 2 Holdings strategy outperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index by 83% over the past ten years (as of 4/30/10).
Your main investment objective is capital preservation
Regardless of investment objective you have little or no tolerance for loss of principal
Your investment horizon is less than five years and you are relying on some or all of the dollars your investing to pay for your expenses during retirement.
Almost invariably, investors who are investing in equities should have a long term investment horizon for that portion that is allocated, OR if their horizon is short (less than three years), they are investing dollars that if lost completely would not impact their living standard. Answering the "should I" and "how much" questions is critical before you can move to the next step. By remaining as impartial as possible, the consistent trader can withdraw any internal feelings or bias and remain open to all of the possibilities at hand. It is vital to remove any bias from their analysis and go with what the market itself is showing them. This way, we can look for only the lowest risk and highest reward trades and opportunities available, giving us a long-term edge in our trading practices.
