About this strategy

Beer, spirits, tobacco and casinos: twelve companies polite portfolios refuse to own, held at equal weight and rebalanced weekly. The academic case is that shunned stocks get priced cheaper than their cash flows deserve.

How it works

  1. Agent triggers

    Starts weekly on Monday at 11:00 AM. This reflects a consistent schedule for portfolio rebalancing.

  2. Computes its signals

    It evaluates a fixed list of twelve companies in alcohol, tobacco, and gaming. The decision mechanism is based on the documented 'price of sin' and historical return patterns.

  3. Sets the target portfolio

    The target portfolio consists of an equal-weight investment across the twelve specified companies. Each name is rebalanced weekly, ensuring drift is trimmed without dropping any name.

  4. Executes orders

    Your account trades toward the target, selling before buying, inside the platform's risk rails: stop-loss and daily loss limits you control.
