028 - Eric Crittenden - A Portfolio for All Seasons

One of the standout points from Eric’s approach is the focus on constructing a durable, all-weather portfolio. Eric designed his fund with the idea that it should be able to endure the most uncertain future scenarios, a goal he finds essential for long-term wealth preservation. His strategy blends managed futures, global equities, and laddered treasury bills, with a focus on equal risk contribution across futures & equities.

Eric emphasizes simplicity and robustness over complexity, believing that this provides the best opportunity for consistent performance in both good times and bad.

For Eric, effective trading is a blend of art and science—knowing when to trust the data and when to recognize that the future will always hold surprises. It was extremely interesting to hear Eric’s wisdom that “direct attempts to create a smoother equity curve usually cause more harm than good. They create more problems than they solve”, adding that it is akin to asking for “more infrequent iceberg risk” in order to avoid “frequent, survivable, nuisance risk”. The solution being to build something that is robust and durable on a stand-alone basis, then something else, and then something else. Pick the ones that play well together and combine into a portfolio!
