Market-like returns. Fraction of the drawdowns. That's Quiet Compounding. This draws on my ten years of developing tactical investment strategies. The combination of the strategies in this portfolio deliver market-like returns over long time frames without the pain from large drawdowns. Rotational momentum, dual momentum, and macro regime positioning each carry a share, and because they read different signals they rarely go defensive at the same moment. Together they produce a far less volatile portfolio with very strong risk-adjusted returns. This Quiet Compounding Portfolio is a great anchor for a barbell strategy - and an ideal fit for any investor who wants strong returns without the volatility of a market portfolio.

This no-leverage Portfolio is a combination of strategies, thoughtfully combined to offer superior returns and risk-adjusted metrics. Quiet Compounding is: 40% Keller & Keuning's HAA strategy, 40% Triad, and 20% Catalyst. Every one of them is held in its base, unleveraged form. Please see those individual strategies for more information on them.

This Quiet Compounding strategy can be invested in through the AutoPilot platform.
