SWAN Alpha
Sleep Well. Stay Invested.
SWAN Alpha is a quantitative framework for serious, hands-on investors who want equity-like returns with more controlled risk and drawdowns.
  • Regime Signals
    Data-driven regime classification that clarifies when conditions favor taking risk—and when they call for defense.
  • Model Portfolios
    Systematic portfolio construction and allocation optimization with monthly rebalancing, targeting strong returns with controlled drawdowns.
  • Alpha Overlays
    Tactical overlays (e.g., pullback and bottom-detection signals) designed to enhance returns without compromising risk discipline. (Coming soon)

Live Regime Signals

Market Regime refers to the prevailing market environment characterized by distinct patterns of price behavior, volatility, and risk-return dynamics. Our algorithm identifies three regimes: Bull (favorable conditions for equity exposure), Neutral (mixed signals requiring moderate positioning), and Bear (defensive conditions favoring cash or low-risk assets). The colored bars below the SPY price chart show regimes predicted by our algorithm.

Live SWAN Portfolio Performance

The SWAN Portfolio is a live model portfolio built from a curated set of high‑quality equities. Holdings are selected and rebalanced by our algorithms at each month‑end. Total exposure is regime‑aware: in bear / neutral regimes the portfolio moves to cash, while supportive regimes allow full equity exposure. The chart shows live performance since launch on January 1, 2025 versus SPY Buy & Hold, and the Holdings panel reflects the current portfolio components.

  • The information and results presented are for research and educational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or an offer to buy or sell any security or investment product.

  • Backtests are walk-forward and out-of-sample, assume open-to-close execution, and do not include transaction costs, taxes, or slippage.

Regime-Based Exposure Strategy

Regime-Based Exposure is a rule-based allocation framework that scales equity exposure according to the prevailing market regime (e.g., Bull 100%, Neutral 50%, Bear 0%), rather than staying fully invested at all times. The table compares the regime-based approach, driven by our regime signals, with Buy & Hold and the commonly used MA200 crossover strategy across key risk and return metrics. In the results shown, the regime-based approach delivers competitive returns with meaningfully lower drawdowns and volatility, supporting a smoother long-term equity experience.
  • The comparison is based on trading SPY (dividends included) and assumes 4% cash yield.
  • Backtests are walk-forward and out-of-sample, assume open-to-close execution, and do not include transaction costs, taxes, or slippage.
