| Sumario: | This paper tries to overcome the limitations that retail investor seek when using traditional approaches to asset allocation, particularly in Spanish equities mutual funds. To do so, we structure this paper into three chapters: in the first one we compare mutual funds' returns against investor's returns and we discuss different possible explanations for the different behaviour we got from Spanish investors, in the second chapter we compare some risk-based indexation methodologies, where risk parity takes an important role, and illustrates these issues as it applies to the Ibex 35 universe showing how risk parity portfolios outperform all the underlying portfolios on an absolute and risk adjusted basis, and in the last chapter we introduce the Portable Alpha strategy and apply it to the Spanish mutual funds portfolio showing how the retail investor can outperform their benchmark both in return and risk related measures such as Sharpe Ratio or Sortino Ratio. |
