Philosophy

Factors are investment characteristics that have historically produced excess risk-adjusted returns. Cyclicality results in factors experiencing periods of outperformance as well as underperformance, while low correlation means that diversification and portfolio design can be optimized to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns. Through an analysis of forward returns using market cycles, factor signal strength, and factor relative valuation, we seek to identify the most promising factors for a given market environment.

Strategy

The Leuthold Factor Tilt strategy endeavors to tilt toward factors most likely to thrive under prevailing market conditions and under- weight factors of which conditions are less supportive. The strategy is designed for those who believe factor alphas will be positive over time and wish to capture excess returns.

Disclosures

The Leuthold Group was founded in 1981 as an independent investment research firm.

The current month’s performance is an estimate.
