Top-Down Global Equity Portfolios Implemented Using Single Country ETFs
Listen to the Portfolio Managers Discuss the Global Equity Portfolios and Country Ranking Model
We Evaluate and Select Countries, Not Individual Equities
Why Global
Home country bias is one of the most common “Deadly Sins of Investing” that we come across when it comes to global diversification. At AGA we believe that global equity markets provide ongoing return opportunities for disciplined investors and that the best way to gain exposure to these markets is through a broadly diversified portfolio that minimizes individual security risks.
Country Ranking Model
AGA established a proprietary country ranking model in 2005 to help our clients achieve low cost diversification to global equity markets. The model seeks to identify countries whose markets will outperform other world equity markets.
ETF Implementation
In 2005, AGA pioneered the use of single-country ETFs to create global equity portfolios and currently holds one of the longest live track records in the industry for their strategies.
Strategies
We were early adopters of top-down country investment strategies, and are at the leading edge of creating portfolios using single country ETFs. We use the same country rankings for all of our strategies and can create custom portfolios based on specific portfolio mandates.
