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

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."

– Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

"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

"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

"As a young consulting firm, requests for input from clients vary and it's sometimes impossible to provide expert solutions across a broad spectrum of requirements. That was before I discovered Flevy.com.

Through subscription to this invaluable site of a plethora of topics that are key and crucial to consulting, I have been able to exceed expectations and deliver quality advice and solutions to my clients. The quality and expertise of the authors are exemplary and gives me great confidence to use as part of my service offerings.

I highly recommend this company for any consultant wanting to apply international best practice standards in their service offerings. "
