BENEFITS OF DOCUMENT

Provides a basis for investment managers (fund managers) to make porfolio allocations.
Identifies risk and return profiles across size, sector and region.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

The much-heralded decoupling of the financial markets in the developed economies from those of the emerging and frontier markets found its nemesis in the 2008/9 global financial crisis- The Great Recession. For the believer in a diversified global basket of stocks or indices that reduces his unsystematic or idiosyncratic risk (that is the risk associated with investing in individual countries, regions or currencies leaving him solely to worry about his world beta) to almost nil the events of 2008/9 came as a big blow to his world of comfort.

The above notwithstanding, investing in a world index like the MSCI index series, specifically the MSCI All Country World Index (MSCI ACWI) comprising as much exposure as possible to stocks across region, sector and currency may well provide the most cost-effective way of maximising net iinvestment return.

Ideally, the global fund manager and/or investor will passively invest in an index fund that tracks the MSCI ACWI. He will invest in this at the market trough, buy and hold it and only liquidate his holding when the index peaks in a subsequent period. He will have augmented this broader passive strategy with periodic tactical shifts across region, size and style to bolster his returns. These tactical shifts are informed by a number of heuristics that are the subject of study here. We believe this to be a low-cost winning strategy.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.

As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point.

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients."

– Ed Kemmerling, Senior Lean Transformation Expert at PMG

"I like your product. I'm frequently designing PowerPoint presentations for my company and your product has given me so many great ideas on the use of charts, layouts, tools, and frameworks. I really think the templates are a valuable asset to the job."

– Roberto Fuentes Martinez, Manager at Technology Transformation Advisory

"As a niche strategic consulting firm, Flevy and FlevyPro frameworks and documents are an on-going reference to help us structure our findings and recommendations to our clients as well as improve their clarity, strength, and visual power. For us, it is an invaluable resource to increase our impact and value."

– David Coloma, Consulting Area Manager at Cynertia Consulting

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."

– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)

"As an Independent Management Consultant, I find Flevy to add great value as a source of best practices, templates and information on new trends. Flevy has matured and the quality and quantity of the library is excellent. Lastly the price charged is reasonable, creating a win-win value for the customer, Flevy and the various authors. This is truly a service that benefits the consulting industry and associated clients. Thanks for providing this service. "

– Jim Schoen, Principal at FRC Group

"Flevy is now a part of my business routine. I visit Flevy at least 3 times each month.

Flevy has become my preferred learning source, because what it provides is practical, current, and useful in this era where the business world is being rewritten.

In today's environment where there are so many challenges and there is the need to make the right decisions in a short time, with so much scattered information, we are fortunate to have Flevy. Flevy investigates, selects, and puts at our disposal the best of the best to help us be successful in our work."

– Omar Hernán Montes Parra, CEO at Quantum SFE

This has reduced the time I need to spend on preparing for my performance consultation. The library is easily accessible and updates are regularly provided. A wealth of great information."

– Cynthia Howard RN, PhD, Executive Coach at Ei Leadership
