Bonds Strategy

The strategy aims to provide exposure to the US bond market only during bond market rising trends.
If the US bond market is observed to be in a positive trend, the Portfolio is allocated to one to two best-performing ETFs from : JNK (High Yield Bonds), BND (Total Bond Market) and LQD (Corporate Bonds). ETFs that are bought have the best momentum (performance). If in a falling US bond market trend, the Portfolio is allocated to an Intermediate-term US Treasuries ETF (IEF).

If the S&P 500 is observed to be in a positive trend, we assume a Risk-On market regime and the Portfolio is allocated to one of three US stock ETFs : S&P 500 (SPY), Nasdaq (QQQ) or MidCap (MDY). The ETF that is bought has the best momentum (performance). If in a falling trend, we assume a Risk-Off market environment and the Portfolio is allocated to a 20+ Year US Treasury Bond ETF (TLT)
