    A Model Portfolio's Lifecycle

    Overview In this episode of the Masterclass Series podcast, we introduce the concept of Mean-Variance Optimization and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), frameworks used to understand risk and return in financial markets.   We start by explaining how Markowitz's portfolio theory helps investors construct portfolios that minimize risk for a given level of return, introducing the concept of the efficient frontier. The podcast then move on to incorporate a risk-free asset, which simplifies the efficient frontier to a straight line, leading to the concept of the tangency portfolio. The CAPM is derived from this framework, suggesting that the risk of an asset is not measured by its volatility but rather by its beta, which reflects its correlation with the market portfolio.   ----more---- This podcast has been provided as part of Algo-Chain's Model Portfolio Masterclass Series.

    Strategic Asset Allocation: The Long Game vs. The AI Advantage

    Overview Welcome to the latest episode, where we dive into "Strategic Asset Allocation". In this briefing, we’ll explore insights from two influential sources that reshape how we think about portfolio construction. First, we look at William J. Bernstein's "The Intelligent Asset Allocator," which critiques the widely cited "Brinson 93.6% Effect" and questions the real role of active management over time. Bernstein emphasizes the power of long-term asset allocation, showing that in the long haul, setting an equity exposure is key, while the search for market-timing alpha may often boil down to luck. In contrast, Algo-Chain's "Algo-Driven ETF Portfolios" white paper presents a tech-forward approach, leveraging AI to dynamically adjust allocations in response to economic cycles. By blending AI with evidence-based investing, Algo-Chain’s strategy highlights the potential of ETFs and data-driven adjustments to navigate today’s fast-paced market landscape. Whether you're dedicated to long-term strategy or intrigued by the possibilities of AI-driven allocation, this episode provides a valuable overview of asset allocation’s evolution and the exciting intersection of technology and investing. Tune in for a fresh perspective on building resilient portfolios in the modern era.   ----more---- This podcast has been provided as part of Algo-Chain's Model Portfolio Masterclass Series.
