Modeling success

G-Sphere helps our selection process by plotting every asset on a point around the visual model. Assets that alike are physically close together. The less similar assets are, the further away they are from each other, until they reach a perfect “negative correlation” of 180° of separation.

The center of the sphere represents the return you get on cash investments or risk-free assets (for example, traditional savings accounts or T-Bills). Riskier assets that can’t post returns superior to the risk-free rate are universally excluded.

The relationship between an asset’s position and the center of the sphere is important because it represents the risk and return relative to cash investments. The greater the distance from the center, the more likely the asset will dominate its peers and maximize the return on your financial investment. This visual representation of the “eggs” in your investment “basket” gives us a much more effective way to understand how to optimize your investment strategy.

Watch your strategy take shape

You actually watch your financial investment strategy take shape as G-Sphere visually plots your assets – you’ll see where all your “eggs” are, relative to one another. The “volume” of your “basket” is displayed as a three-dimensional shape formed by how your assets are plotted. The greater the distance the points are from each other, and from the center, the more “volume” your portfolio has. The more volume your strategy has, the better your total financial investment portfolio performs.
