Summary
- Elm Partners offers diversified portfolios of ETFs and index funds using an algorithmic value- and momentum-based asset allocation system.
- Elm's clients keep their funds in separately managed accounts with Fidelity, or an offshore fund for non-US investors, and pay among the lowest fees in the industry.
- We perform an annual review of our investment approach, and the outcome this year is a plan to modify the Value metric for equities.
- Our new metric will be the spread of the Cyclically Adjusted Earnings Yield over the ten-year TIPS real yield, to provide a forecast of the asset class' return in excess of the long-term risk-free real rate.
