SFA Investment Style
Stark Financial’s investment style includes mean-variance optimization, Dynamic Asset Allocation, and Tactical Asset Allocation. MVO is a mathematical process that calculates the security or asset class weights, that provide the maximum expected return for a given level of risk. MVO considers expected security returns, expected standard deviation (risk), and cross-security correlations.
Tactical Asset Allocation is the process of diverging from strategic asset allocation when Stark Financial’s short-term forecasts deviate from long-term forecasts.
Stark Financial invests in equities, including both domestic, and international, real estate securities, commodities and fixed income securities.
