4. Monitoring
• Dynamic financial and economic time series
inherently exhibit some form of instability or
nonstationarity. Thus daily data of
correlation coefficients are collected and
tested for nonstationarity.
• Funds that are not covariance stationary are
replaced so that you are never left with a
portfolio with highly correlated components.

5. Initial Screens
• Best Fit Alpha > 3%
• Base Currency US dollar
• Use the oldest share class and highest
quality, i.e. Institutional trumps Class A
which trumps Class B.
