We matched the potential of biotechnology stocks with a systematic, model-driven investment approach.

The Prudent Biotech model portfolio uses quantitative models to further power
biotech performance and improve its risk-adjusted return profile.

We matched the potential of biotechnology stocks with a systematic, model-driven investment approach.

The biotech model goes through multiple iterations processing the quantitative parameters and rules for the biotech stocks and the broader market variables. The output is a list of high potential biotech stocks. 

We use our systematic investing methodology to select up to an 8-stock model portfolio that is shared with members in the monthly Prudent Biotech newsletter service.

The Prudent Biotech focuses on total portfolio returns and not on individual position returns. 

Stocks can go up and down within a portfolio. 

But it is the total portfolio return that must be the focus. 

It is hard to avoid losses on individual positions. For biotechs, such losses are even steeper due to the binary nature of the trial results. But through prudent risk management, the portfolio will likely have more positions that gain over time to offset such losses. 

a model portfolio with a history of significantly
outpacing benchmark performance in most years

In the chart above, we overlaid the performance of the Prudent Biotech portfolio along with the performance of the biotech industry group and S&P 500 that was shown in the first chart.

The quantitative models took a strongly performing biotech industry group and created a promising model portfolio that delivered compelling results in most years to far exceed the performance of the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (IBB) and the S&P 500.

During the same period from 2010 to 2022, the model portfolio significantly outperformed with a gain of nearly 9,000% as seen in the chart above. Benchmark returns were much lower. The volatility for the Prudent Biotech portfolio was higher than the biotech index, but had a superior risk-adjusted performance. The Sharpe ratio for the model portfolio was 0.55 compared to 0.1 for IBB, indicating the higher-risk was compensated for in terms of returns. Additional metrics are provided in the Performance section.

The model portfolio focuses on generating consistent and robust returns through a disciplined investment approach. This approach combines various dimensions, including process-oriented strategies, market direction analysis, and rules-driven quantitative models that utilize fundamental and technical variables. By blending these elements, the model portfolio attempts to consistently deliver returns that outperform benchmarks in most years.

The power of compounding is an integral part of the approach which leverages the enduring strength of the stock market over the long-term and the magic of compounding to build wealth over time.

Investing in biotechs should be one part of a broader portfolio strategy. Longer term portfolio allocation to growth and speculative segments, like biotechs and small cap stocks, can achieve much higher risk-adjusted performance.
