NAAIM Active Investing Strategy Competition
The NAAIM Active Investing Strategy Competition (formerly called NAAIM Shark Tank) is an opportunity for developers of active investing approaches to pitch their strategies to fellow advisors and active investment managers in pursuit of sub-advisor agreements. Preliminary competition contestants are selected by NAAIM to present their strategies in May at Uncommon Knowledge 2020.
NAAIM Exposure Index
The NAAIM Exposure Index represents the average exposure to US Equity markets reported by our members. As the name indicates, the NAAIM Exposure Index provides insight into the actual adjustments active risk managers have made to client accounts over the past two weeks.
Indicator Wall
For members only - The goal is to provide members with a vast array of stock market indicators, which will be updated weekly. The Indicator Wall will include readings and explanations of indicators and/or models in the areas of price/trend, momentum, key price levels, overbought/sold readings, sentiment, monetary, economic, inflation, and market cycles. The NAAIM Indicator Wall is updated on a weekly basis.
Dynamic Asset Allocation Model
NAAIM’s Dynamic Asset Allocation Model is as an active, risk-managed model portfolio designed to keep equity exposure in line with prevailing market conditions. Unlike Wall Street’s traditional static allocation approach, NAAIM’s model over/underweights equity/bond exposure weekly based on the state of market trends, momentum, investor sentiment, monetary conditions, as well as data on the economy, earnings, inflation and valuations.
