Performance
The value of optimising to reduce the depth, breadth and duration of drawdowns (iVaR) is clearly visible in the performance chart. By better conserving capital over the first two years of the portfolio’s life, it has firmly regained its value of “1000€” in September of 2003 whereas the index will only reclaim it in December 2005 (only to lose it again in the great financial crisis).
The benchmark used for this backtest is the market-cap weighted Stoxx600 (LDJSTOXX).
The Portfolio must hold 100% of equities.
You can find more details on the portfolio and benchmark at the bottom of this page.
Yearly returns
The yearly returns clearly show that when using iVaR in the Portfolio Optimizer it is possible to offer a “smoother ride” to investors. iVaR was built on the premise that any instrument or portfolio providing strict monotonic growth (i.e. no losses) should be riskless, regardless of the speed or consistency of the growth. This matches the behavior of a cash savings account, which also increases monotonically in value over time, and is considered riskless by end investors.
Cumulative drawdowns
This shows the number of days the portfolio and benchmark have spent a certain level below their previous high-water mark.
