According to MOPW, Gold has generated 8% returns (YTD) in INR terms, ASAP 1%and Nifty 2%. Equity is likely to catch up with gold as global central banksslow down the pace of rate hikes in the remaining part of the year.

Asper MOPW, investors globally can expect market volatility in the mediumterm given the heightened geopolitical tensions and the potential for downwardearnings revisions. Investors should avoid big changes to asset allocationsthat differ from long-term risk-based targets. Given the external risks andtheir potential impact, investing in a staggered manner may help iron outmarket extremes.

Alpha Strategist Advantage Portfolio (ASAP)
As global central banksunwind their easy monetary policy, markets worldwide are expected to witnesshigh volatility. To beat the market volatility, Motilal Oswal Private WealthManagement has curated an investment proposition named ‘Alpha Strategist Advantage Portfolio’. It comprises ofequal weighted investment in different asset classes like -
· IndianEquities (investing only in the passive index funds) (20%)
· USEquities (investing only in S&P 500 index funds) (20%)
· Gold(Gold fund) (20%)
· Debt(Target Maturity Funds) (20%)
· Cash(Arbitrage funds) (20%)
The advantage of having an equal-weighted portfolio is havinga rule-based strategy across asset classes. Equities are hedged against GoldFunds and Arbitrage funds that provide cushion against any major fall. While onthe upside, the fund enjoys higher returns from Indian and US equities.
The ASAP portfolio from 1990 to 2022 grew at a compoundedaverage growth rate of 11.7% against 9.9% growth of Gold, 8.3% growth of Debtand 13.8% and 13% growth of Indian and US Equities respectively.
· Thestandard deviation of the ASAP was observed to be at 8% against a standarddeviation of 27.4% in Indian Equities, 15.1% in US Equities, 2.6% in Debt, 0.6%in Cash, and 14.8% in Gold. The benchmark index of ASAP is Crisil Compositewhich is the standard benchmark of the Fixed Income funds.
· TheASAP on absolute terms for the period ended 31st July 2022, hasgiven 3.1% returns against 1.7% returns of the Crisil Composite Index.
The ASAP portfolio is rebalanced annually at the end ofthe calendar year in such a way that all asset classes have an equal weightageat the beginning of the corresponding next year. Profits from the topperforming asset classes are distributed in the non-performing asset class.
Mr. Nitin Shanbhag, Head – InvestmentProducts, Motilal Oswal Private Wealth said, “The ASAP is an all-weatherstrategy and a superior alternative to fixed income funds. The rationale behindASAP is to have a rule-based exposure across asset classes to take awaybehavioural biases and generate steady consistent returns over the long term.”
