Adaptive Regime Core (ARC)
ARC is the long-term foundation of the portfolio, built to diversify across factors, regions, and macro sensitivities, with modest adjustments made through a macro overlay. The framework is to stay investable across changing inflation, liquidity, and risk conditions without unnecessary turnover.
ARC is intended to remain investable through regime change rather than constantly re-underwritten.
Signals inform modest adjustments. Most of the time, discipline matters more than activity.
ARC translates macro inputs into repeatable decisions within defined limits.
