Highlights
Inflation Risk Dominates
November 9, 2021
This week, three alternative versions of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) are InFocus: the traditional capitalization (Cap)-weighted SPX, the equal-weighted, and the reverse-cap-weighted version.
Volatility Will Rise
September 21, 2021
For the rest of 2021 and beyond,
markets are going to be very volatile.
The Fed is going to make money worth less. How do we
hedge? When stocks are at a reasonable value, they are a hedge against high
inflation.
The FED Is Complacent or Clueless on Inflation Risk!
February 18, 2021
Arrow Insights favors global assets, moderate risk asset allocations and managed futures. Our investment rationale is based upon sustained weakness in the U.S. Dollar ($USD) attributable to yield repression policies enforced by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and excessive money supply growth due to money printing.

Introduction
Arrow Insights (A.I.) conducts research for the weekly
InFocus. A.I. reviews economic and market factors relevant to specific
financial markets. Each InFocus examines asset classes and index performance
within an asset allocation context. The primary or secondary objectives are
hedging Inflation, deflation, or both. Each InFocus reviews a portfolio
strategy model or index relevant to this process.
The
Reverse Cap Weight S&P 500 (RCWI) is InFocus. The S&P 500
(SPX) weights each stock in proportion to its market capitalization. RCWI
provides investors with more exposure to small-cap and mid-cap firms within SPX
by weighting each stock reciprocally to its market cap. As a result, small- to
mid-cap stocks have more representation within RCWI relative to SPX, while
large-cap stocks have less representation. The S&P 500 Equal Weight (SPXEW)
equal weights each stock in SPX. Returns for each index in various periods are
shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 displays performance metrics for an equal
allocation (rebalanced annually) to each index (Alt-SPX_EqWt, RCWITR, and
SPXEWTR on a total return basis since Jan 1, 1997).
