The Equity Trend Model Portfolio
About the model: Adams Wealth Management’s Equity Trend Model is a quantitative, trend-following model portfolio that invests in up to 25 individual equities. Our rules-driven model takes a risk-on/risk-off approach to investing focusing on stocks that are appreciating in price as the broader market trends higher. When the broader market is trending lower, the model will invest in fixed-income ETFs (exchange-traded funds) or a basket of fixed-income ETFs. The investment objective of this model is growth and may not be suitable for all investors. For purposes of comparison, this report uses the S&P 500 Total Return Index. For more information about this model, please read our disclosures.
The month in review: The Equity Trend Model posted a return of 2.60% in July. Despite the solid return, the Equity Trend Model underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index which posted a return of 3.40% for the month. The underperformance was largely as a result of the decline in Netflix (NFLX), one of the model’s top performing positions since inception. Only four positions in the model posted negative returns for the month: Netflix (NFLX): -13.79%, Constellation Brands Inc: (STZ): -3.95%, Accenture PLC (ACN): -2.60%, and Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC): -2.34%. The remaining positions posted positive returns for the month with double digit returns from the top three performers: JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM): 10.85%, Honeywell International Inc.(HON): 10.83%, and CSX Corp (CSX): 10.82%.
Although the Equity Trend Model’s performance lagged in the month of July, the model has still outpaced the S&P 500 Total Return Index by 5.95% since inception. The cumulative return for the Equity Trend Model is 33.81% vs. the S&P 500 Total Return of 27.86% as of the end of July 2018.
