Growth Portfolio
An Active Investment Strategy
The Growth Portfolio is a trend following strategy. The strategy is designed to keep you invested when the market is rising, yet will inform you to exit positions to protect your capital when the market declines – as it did during the GFC.
Below are examples of trades the Growth Portfolio WILL and WILL NOT take.
It is an active, intermediate-length strategy with trades held for around 6-8 months.
Whilst we do not disclose the exact rules of the Growth Portfolio, the strategy is loosely based on the Bollinger Band Breakout strategy discussed on page 118 of Unholy Grails. Unholy Grails discusses this style of active investing and is recommended reading for all users.
Recommended Requirements
You will need an online or discount broker. Trish and Nick Radge use SelfWealth to trade the Growth Portfolio.
We suggest a minimum account size of A$30,000.
How it works
The strategy is designed to be as user friendly as possible. To build a portfolio simply divide your capital into 10 equal portions, representing 10% allocation to each signal.
When a signal is recommended, place the order for the opening auction the following day.
Once a portfolio of 10 positions have been established, you may ignore any additional entries and await an exit signal.
Stop-loss orders are not used. Whilst we do use stop losses and protective measures, these are not placed in the market.
Exits are based on the day’s closing price and then executed on the next session’s open.
