Tactical Overlay
Expected
returns
are
low,
and
portfolio
drawdowns
are
devastating,
so
it
sometimes
makes
sense
to
shift
to
cash.
Defensive
Use
of
Cash
Cash
is
the
gold
standard
for
mitigating
risk
(and
client
sanity)
Shift
to
cash
on
2-sigma
events
(a
work
in
process)
BUT
tactical
tilts
undermine
strategic
diversification

AQR: Equities
(Page

of
1Q
2015
report;
timeframe
is
5
to
10
years)
AQR
uses
a
dividend
discount
model
and
the
Shiller
P/E.
Both
approaches
reach
roughly
the
same
conclusion
about
expected
returns:
DDM
projects
3.5%
and
Shiller
P/E
projects
4.0%.
I
add
0.5%
to
the
DDM
to
account
for
the
buyback
yield
since
I
believe
that
recent
buyback
trends
will
persist.

2.6%
real
EPS
growth
is
too
high.
FactSet
Data
show
that
corporations
have
been
net
buyers
of
stock
over
the
last
ten
years
(especially
tech
firms).
This
boosts
returns,
just
as
dividend
yield
does.
I
expect
this
to
persist,
and
add
about
0.5%
to
long-term
equity
returns.

Net
corporate
debt

This

occurred

sheets
hits
$1.4
trillion
.
In
