About The Adaptive Asset Allocation Report

The Adaptive Asset Allocation (AAA) Report is a trend-following investment strategy, delivered as a monthly research report.

This report, from veteran market analyst Robin Griffiths and quantitative investment specialist Rashpal Sohan, aims to analyse financial markets through the lens of the business cycle.

Using their proprietary AAA Model, Robin and Rashpal rank a set of important assets, showing the strongest assets with leadership at each phase of the business cycle. Here's how it works:

For example:

This is accompanied by in-depth, high-quality global macro research, helping to udnerstand the major trends and their key drivers, staying alert for changes in the markets.

Using their approach, Robin and Rashpal have managed to demonstrate how an Adaptive Asset Allocation approach can significantly compound wealth over the long term by both growing and protecting it during the good times and bad.

The model is run monthly, and can be followed by using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) or managed funds. It has been running since June 2018, and has a loyal following.

In their inaugural edition, Robin and Rashpal wrote this:

"We identify the stocks that are doing well and own the shares whilst they are in the hot spot of being top performers. We can also find when they top out and we reap the harvest and sell out to buy a new stock instead.
We have a proven discipline, we can explain the rules. We can help make money in your own home market and also show how to diversify into the correct international markets and assets to grow your wealth on a global scale.
Our methods do not get you in at market bottoms or out at the very top, but they keep you positively invested for the majority of the time that the overall market is rising, and get you out for most of the time that it is falling. Our system is more robust than one designed to maximize profit only on the way up, and it beats passive investing as we do not have the huge drawdowns of bear markets."

Overall, the AAA Model is a masterclass in balancing return and risk.

For investors who value consistency, resilience, and intelligent risk-taking, it’s not just a model...

It’s a blueprint.

Compared to equities and trend-following strategies, AAA delivers superior consistency and resilience.

For long-term investors, it’s a standout performer with enviable downside protection.
