Design principles
The index is built on three principles: simplicity of interpretation, focus on robust signals, and utility for individuals who don't spend their day glued to a financial terminal.
We do not seek excessive mathematical complexity, but a practical indicator that can be easily understood and contextualized.
Signals included
We observe assets that capture tension, flight-to-safety, or shifts in risk appetite across market cycles. The exact signal weighting evolves as data quality improves.
Important limitations
No single index can capture total macroeconomic complexity. Asset relationships change, market regimes shift, and history does not repeat exactly. Thus, the indicator must be treated as a contextual overlay.
Proper usage within eXcenda
The index gains maximum utility when combined with your personal financial picture. The same index reading may lead to different actions depending on your liquidity, debt profile, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
