## Alternatives ETFs ranked by the Stock Diversification Score

How much does it diversify a stock portfolio?

Stock Diversification Score is where a fund sits among the alternatives ETFs it can honestly be compared with, on that one question. That is two sets in this category rather than one: 22 equity hedged alternatives ETFs with a full year (lowest 4.5, median 47.8, top 95.5) and 17 systematic trend alternatives ETFs with a full year (lowest 2.9, median 50, top 94.2). It is a rank inside a set turned into a percentile, so no fund reaches 100 and none reaches 0. A percentile has no weights to argue with and can be recomputed by anyone with the file .

A high score is not a recommendation and a low one is not a warning. One year of weekly moves against the S&P 500, within one strategy; it ignores what the fund returned. It is one year of weekly returns, and a fund that rose when stocks fell in that year need not in the next. Each strategy is ranked only among itself, and a strategy with fewer than twelve funds has no score. It leaves out what the fund earned, which is why return against T-bills sits beside it.
