World Market Weighting Your Equity Allocation [view article]
BuyItCheap -- we are not in disagreement. All I am saying is that you have two starting point choices if you wish to have your overweights and underweights quantified: 100% domestic from which you deviate to your preference, or 100% world market cap, from which you deviate. You and and should invest however you please, but if you simply choice a mix out of the air, you will not know your over and underweighting relative to world market cap which I contend is useful to know. My article did not suggest that you should invest at market-cap, but that you should start there conceptually and they actively chose what you wish, but with a good understanding of how that differs from how all the stock money in the world is invested.

DDoes it make more sense to weight by GDP growth rate? and then value? I don't know if I buy the market cap approach. I'd like a balance of fast growers and larger matures. ReplyQuant Approach to TAA: Equity-Like Returns with Bond-Like Volatility [view article]
End of month, Nov 2007, for SPX/SPY.The signal before that was end of month Sept 2004, which signalled to buy SPX. Reply

Yes, but the green was in bad shape. ReplyQuant Approach to TAA: Equity-Like Returns with Bond-Like Volatility [view article]
Let me restate the question... What was the most recent month that the S&P timing model signaled a move to cash? ReplyQuant Approach to TAA: Equity-Like Returns with Bond-Like Volatility [view article]
Not sure if I did this right, but I show a lower return for the timing model on the S&P using a 10 month trailing SMA for data from 1/1926 to current... What month did the S&P timing model signal a move to cash? ReplyWhy Emerging Markets Can Be So Volatile [view article]
Wow! What a three-putt ReplyWorld Market Weighting Your Equity Allocation [view article]
ejaz- yes, I do that in some accounts that want to be world weighted, but if you wish to tilt then you need to work with sub-components ReplyWorld Market Weighting Your Equity Allocation [view article]
just use VEU instead of EFA, EWC, and VWO ReplyWhy Emerging Markets Can Be So Volatile [view article]
Okay I agree. ReplyWhy Emerging Markets Can Be So Volatile [view article]
puttser:We did not examine VWO to determine world market cap percentage. We used the S&P/Citigroup Global Indices to report that number and note that there are certain emerging market funds such as VWO (and EEM) that track an emerging market index and are therefore investable proxies for the emerging markets as a whole

How can you "conclude" that the emerging market float is 1/9th of the world float by examining VWO? It's like saying the beach is 500 yards long by examining a grain of sand. ReplyWorld Market Weighting Your Equity Allocation [view article]
This is something that I have been working on. With my analysis , I concluded that a US and Diversified world ex US portfolio will have a breakdown of 45% (US) and 55%(world ex US). I am yet to see how this breakdown changes with inclusion of bond index funds. ReplyWhy Emerging Markets Can Be So Volatile [view article]
puttster:Perhaps you should do some research please before offering hostile comments.
VWO is the Vanguard emerging markets ETF. It follows the MSCI emerging markets index which is a free-float index. Here is the text about the investment strategy from the Vanguard site:
Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF is an exchange-traded share class of Vanguard® Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, which employs a “passive management”—or indexing—investment approach by investing substantially all (normally about 95%), of its assets in the common stocks included in the MSCI® Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is made up of common stocks of companies located in emerging markets around the world. Reply

Why do you say the size of the emerging markets free-float can be "represented"... by VWO? Do some research, please! Reply
