Idea Generation and Investment Universe
The Titan Automated Bonds investment process begins with a broad set of bond markets that are diversifying to one another. Our universe encompasses a broad set of markets, from emerging market debt to municipal bonds, but final portfolios are determined by a rigorous, rules-based model.
Rules-Based Approach
Our automated, rules-based approach to determining investment weights is based on time-tested principles of portfolio optimization and Modern Portfolio Theory. Our model forms expectations for returns, correlations, and volatilities of bond markets, and selects weights that aim to enhance risk-adjusted return.
Portfolio Management
Investments will naturally drift with market movements, which is why the strategy is rebalanced quarterly for risk management and optimal return purposes. Rebalances are implemented automatically and within reasonable thresholds in seeking proper risk management without over-trading. The holdings and weights for Automated Bonds may differ between taxable and retirement accounts.
It's time to focus on the future of your wealth.
