Area: Finance/ Investment Management.
Historical data sets : From January 1,2000 – July 2020
The overall aim is to determine /establish if the TAAM (or 1/n) model has performed viably from 2000-2020 as
an asset allocation model when compared to other optimal diversification asset allocation models/strategies
such as mean-variance, minimum variance models etc.
If so, can it stand creditably as a stand alone asset allocation model and be applied profitably as such in asset
management practice in the UK? . If not, why not and can it be combined with other models to improve its
performance or the performance of the primary asset allocation model being applied.
