Forest Path- Orton Effect
We lead off March with a review of the Schrodinger portfolio, a computer managed account housed with Schwab. The Schrodinger is known by Schwab as an “Intelligent Portfolio.” It falls under the general category as a Robo Advisor portfolio.
The Schrodinger was first launched back on July 31, 2017 so we are beginning to have a useful history. I use 12/31/2021 as the launch date as several other portfolios were launched in late 2021 or very early in 2022. This permits a comparison between the various portfolio regardless of their investing models. Performance data is published approximately every six weeks.
Of all the portfolios tracked here on the ITA blog, the Schrodinger is the easiest to manage as there is absolutely nothing to do other than to save and add money to the portfolio. Schwab’s computers do the rest, including tax managing the account.
Schrodinger Asset Allocation Holdings
Below are the current asset allocations for the Schrodinger. No new transactions have occurred for any weeks and when they have happened shares were added to the portfolio. It is extremely rare for shares to be sold out of the Schrodinger.
Schrodinger Performance Data
Since 12/31/2021 the Schrodinger has outperformed all six potential benchmarks. This despite holding 8.1% of the portfolio in a money market.
The requested ratio of stocks/(bonds & cash) is 80%/20%. I also requested the portfolio concentrate on U.S. Equities and to down play international equities.
Schrodinger Risk Ratios
Pay little attention to the March data as it only shows what happened the last few hours. The slope (0.22) of the Jensen Performance Index is one of the most important pieces of information found within the following data table.
Comments are always welcome.
