Portfolio management – an alternative

Modern portfolio management theory emphasizes risk management through diversification. Simply put, investors are advised to spread their investments across sectors and asset classes, offsetting risk among component weightings. However, this rigid system of diversification avoids market timing aspects of risk and often exposes investors to drawdowns that could be avoided with an approach that better adapts to the market environment.

There are few money managers that employ more aggressive diversification strategies. One upstart investment firm is focused on systematic trading and has caught my eye – Acorn Global Investments Inc. of Oakville, Ontario. A recent paper explains Acorn’s approach:

I have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. If their is anyone that is interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would like to take a moment to talk about low price stocks not classic penny stocks or stocks under one dollar the term most people most often think of when the word penny stock is used. The single most important thing that investors must realize about low price stocks or stocks under five dollars is this’ their are companies of really decent quality trading under five dollars’ but for every one company trading under five dollars that is of decent quality their are maybe ten of poor quality. So the really big difference between those investors that are tremendously successfull when it comes to investing in low price stocks and those investors that lose enormous amounts of money investing in stocks under five dollars’ is having a great deal of knowledge and experience when it comes to low price stocks’ or having a total lack of knowledge and experience when it comes to low price stocks. Finding quality stocks under five dollars requires a lot more research than finding a decent stock above ten dollars.
