Capital Market Assumptions when Return Stacking
Many financial plans are built off the backbone of capital market assumptions (“CMAs”). These forecasts of asset class expected returns, volatilities, and correlations are critical inputs to the portfolio construction process.
The Glide Path Re-Imagined (Part 1)
Given existing capital market assumptions (“CMAs”), how can we develop CMAs for return stacked portfolios?
The Return Stacking Checklist
We believe return stacking is a portfolio concept that can revolutionize the way you think about building portfolios. There are a number of things to consider, however, when building a return stacked portfolio. Which is why we built this checklist: to help get you started on your return stacking journey.
