Maximizing global wealth in an absolute sense should be the goal of all rational investors. The indices developed by CLCI seek to do this by redefining the way in which risk is measured and in doing so also determining non arbitrary benchmarks for risk and return. Home country bias has been one of the most persistent anomalies in finance and while information asymmetry, regulatory hurdles and transaction frictions have in the past partly explained this apparent anomaly the internationalization of financial markets in more recent times has made the lack of international perspective of most market participants even more perplexing. This bias leads to a distortion in the perception of risk and return. The CLCI optimization methodology redefines the “riskless asset” as an optimally weighted basket of currencies. CLCI Global Benchmark Index (GBI). Using CLCI-GBI as a common base for all exposures allows risk and return to be managed and understood in the global context. CLCI has developed proprietary valuation metrics for the selected group of currencies that work in real time to measure deviations from purchasing power parity, as well as trends in capital flows. The CLCI Global Value Index (GVI) has been calculated back to August 1971 and has displayed significant outperformance over time, while the GVI/GBI return standard deviation over time has been lower than that for any individual currency in the selected currency group.
