Abstract
This paper introduces a blueprint for combining individual strategies into a robust portfolio using five principles.
» Continued research is paramount to replenish individual strategies as performance wanes over time
» Identifying and classifying strategies correctly based on their dynamic return characteristics leads to temporal validity in portfolio performance
» Employing strategies on a diverse set of markets increases the opportunity set available
» Understanding the benefits and limitations of diversification guides manager decisions for research and resource allocation
» Sufficient time is required to give portfolios the opportunity to prosper from the skill in the investment program
Together these five elements build the basis of Statistically Applied Trading (Saτ).
