About this strategy

The Permanent Portfolio Max is a systematic macro strategy designed to adapt across different economic regimes. Building upon the traditional Permanent Portfolio framework, the model dynamically adjusts asset allocations, aiming to balance growth objectives with systematic risk management.

Key Features:
Dynamic Macro Allocation: Replaces static fixed-income allocations with dynamic, risk-managed portfolio adjustments.

Low Turnover: Designed with a monthly rebalancing structure to help reduce execution friction and trading frequency.

Systematic Risk Management: Applies predefined, rule-based exposure adjustments during periods of heightened market stress.
Historical Backtest Metrics (QuantConnect Simulation, 2014–2026):
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR): 20.1%
Historical Max Drawdown: -12.8%
Sharpe Ratio: 1.1
Sortino Ratio: 1.3

Backtesting data is hypothetical and it has not been verified by C2.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
