Economy Indicators
The concept of Macro Indicators is to enable adjustments in portfolio allocation based on the prevailing economic and monetary environment. For instance, increasing holdings in riskier assets, such as equities, during favorable conditions. Conversely, increasing allocation to safer investments like cash, treasuries, and gold, when conditions deteriorate. While this approach may not completely eliminate drawdowns, it can improve the overall risk-return profile of the portfolio.
