Figure 1 – Exceptional & Rich Indexes vs. S&P Market Capitalization Method

SBI BSE 100 India Fund was compared vs. E&R India 100, SPY was compared vs. E&R U.S. 500, XIU was compared vs. E&R Canada 60, BITW was compared vs. E&R Crypto 10 and EIDO was compared vs. E&R Indonesia 30.

Figure 2 – [AR] Annualized Average Returns, [ER] Annualized Excess Returns, [EV] Average Excess Volatility, [TE] Average Annual Tracking Error, [AA] Asset Allocation based on inverse of Tracking Error [TE]

Though there was a dispersion across performance and risk metrics, the Average Annualized returns [AR] when weighted with inverse of Tracking Error could have delivered an average simulated return for the year at negative 128 basis points [-1.28%] even after assuming Crypto risk. As we add more Indexes like commodities, alternative energy, the asset allocation models should become more insightful.
