Fund Manager's Strategy Outperforms Despite Cash Buffer
A fund manager's strategy has shown impressive results, balancing risk and return to outperform market benchmarks. Despite holding back some capital, the strategy effectively navigated a stock market consolidation phase and captured significant gains.
The fund manager allocated 15% of assets in cash, limiting potential upside but also capping downside risk. During the period from Friday 9 May to Thursday 16 May, the strategy anticipated a macro and sentiment shift, leading to a more defensive allocation. Despite this, the fund manager still managed to outperform the stock market-cap-weighted benchmark.
The strategy was overweight in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with BTC's price increasing by 0.2% to $104,000 and ETH surging by 15.6% to $2,600. The fund manager also held overweight positions in Solana (SOL), which rose by 5.2% to $172.5. Rebalancing into BTC ahead of a bitcoin price pullback helped preserve gains and add stability to the portfolio. The team's timely increase in exposure to ETH and SOL ahead of their breakout moves was particularly successful, capturing significant outperformance.
The fund manager's strategy, despite keeping some capital in cash, effectively navigated stock market conditions to outperform benchmarks. The team's ability to anticipate market shifts and time allocation shifts contributed to the strategy's success. As the stock market shows signs of cooling momentum, the team is positioned for resilience and ready to rotate again when the setup improves.
