A CORE-SATELLITE FRAMEWORK FOR THE MODERN INVESTOR
In today's markets, rising correlations across asset classes have made diversification increasingly difficult to achieve through conventional allocations alone. Instead of relying solely on traditional assets, this framework builds diversification through a collection of trading systems and complementary approaches, each designed with a distinct role.
Some are structured to thrive in bull markets, others to perform during prolonged sideways conditions, while still others focus on protection in periods of stress. Together, they create a resilient portfolio that does not depend on forecasting the future, but adapts fluidly to the market's shifting tides and currents.
Within this framework, the buy and hold component is what we refer to as the Core in the Five Engine Portfolio. The core is designed to provide full market exposure through a long-term, durable structure built to compound across market cycles.
Once the core is in place, trading is introduced to diversify return sources beyond traditional assets. Trading is taught as a separate system, intentionally structured to complement the core rather than replace it, with strategies designed to perform across a wide range of market environments.
"Rather than simply relying on market performance, the Five Engine Portfolio is designed to engineer it."
