Alocação estratégica igualmente ponderada e fundos balanceados

Abstract

Results and contribution of the article: Equally weighted strategic allocation portfolios have higher cumulative returns than selected balanced funds. However, the average returns are not always statistically greater than those of funds and the statistical significance of a portfolio changes according to the sub-period analyzed. Fixed-income portfolios were the only ones to outperform funds more frequently. Funds, in turn, fail in active management and perform worse than portfolios weighted according to their declared passive allocation. Equally weighted portfolios only outperformed balanced funds because they deviated from their investment policy. Transaction costs and different portfolio rebalancing frequencies do not change the conclusions.
