Leveraged Decay: how to calculate itBrexit and currency hedging has thrown up the need for products such as SUP3 however there is danger in holding such leveraged products as SUP3 (3X Long GBP Short EUR). As path dependency of the currency picks up in volatility the arithmetic mean drifts below the geometrical mean. This is most easily realised in the following example of an up and down fluctuation of 10%: 100 +10% = 110 110 - 10% = 99 We have lost 1% due to the path dependency having only moved up and down 10% We can approximate the volatility drag using the following: Volatility Drag = 0.5 * (Leverage) * (Standard Deviation) ^2 This comes from the formula for the geom mean: Geom Mean = Arith Mean - 0.5 * SD^2 It is not precise but allows a proxy to be formed!

IAU ProfitsThe IAU has treated me well through this Brexit vote. I entered back on May the 10th at $12.21, and I'm looking to take profit around the $13.10 mark, which would be about a 7.5% move to the upside. If the markets continue to go lower, I can see gold going higher. It's important to keep in mind though the markets are moving with purpose and who knows when they'll cool off. Do I think gold is ready to turn back to the down side? Not yet. I believe gold is a safe haven investment for everyone, especially the people who are not market knowledgeable and are unsure where else to store their savings. I would stay in gold a little longer, but I'm looking to take my profits after this nice move to the upside.
