Thor's Shield is a model portfolio designed to vigorously reduce equity tail risk while maintaining upside exposure. Thor’s Shield is a daily report for investors who want to make use of Viking Analytics’ option signals in a once-daily systematic strategy. As a subscriber, you will receive a daily PDF with Viking's portfolio allocations for SPY, QQQ, TLT, and IEF. Some subscribers use this for an intra-day trading bias for SPY and QQQ. Thor's Shield is intended to increase the return you get for every unit of risk you take.
Thor's Shield uses the options markets to forecast periods of stress in the equity markets.
When stress is high, the model reduces exposure to SPY and QQQ, two highly liquid stock ETFs.
The model also uses portfolio theory to invest in, and adjust allocation to TLT and IEF, two bond ETFs.
Thor's Shield will see and experience the long-term benefits of portfolio theory, combined with sound investing principles.
