Abstract

Economy is periodically. In different period of economic, different kinds of asset (stock, bonds, commodities, gold) met different situation. How to divide and identify economic cycle [1,2] accurately that is very important to make an investment strategy and asset allocation [3]. The traditional way to divide economic period was based on the Merrill Lynch Investment Clock [4]. According to GDP growth rate and inflation rate, economic is divided into 4 periods, including inflation, deflation, disinflation, reinflation. There are different strategies to allocate assets. For example, before 2012, ML’s Investment Clock are very effective in China, but after 2012 this strategy was out of order. Hence, it is important to explore a new strategy about division of economic periods. In the paper below, we separate economy into 4 periods based on the magnitude and direction of inflation expectation [5,6]. We study in the performances with different assets on different economic periods. Base on the performance of various assets in different economic cycles and the essence of assets, we establish a new strategy about allocate asset. And we back test our strategy by historical data to investigate whether our asset allocation strategy we developed are efficiency and reliable. In this strategy, we achieve annualized rate of return 14.84% and sharp ratio1.16. In the following research, we will pay attention to various cyclical industry allocation strategies or sector allocation strategies in different economic cycles.
