Sidepocket Inc. DBA (‘Sidepocket Financial’) is a deep-tech company disrupting the antiquated wealth management industry, and solving the multi-trillion-dollar drawdown problem. American investors lost an estimated 7 trillion dollars of retirement capital in the 2022 bear market, partly due to the traditional 60/40 passive portfolio losing over 35% after adjusting for inflation, the worst drawdown in over 100 years. As the relationship between losses and recovery is not linear, a 35% drawdown requires a nearly 54% gain just to break even.Sidepocket’s asset allocation technology, which applies advanced statistical analysis, quantitative modeling, and predictive analytics, is engineered to reduce drawdown in bear markets and crashes significantly (Max DD. -2.96% for 2022 in the moderate multi-signal model, for example). This allows for shorter recovery time, and drastically improved long-term performance. Sidepocket has the potential to replace the investment allocation models used by all existing Robo-investment apps and traditional advisors — strategic asset allocation, derived from modern portfolio theory or “Portfolio Selection,” the Ph.D. thesis of Harry Markowitz published in 1952, has failed to meet the needs of tens of millions of American investors with varying risk tolerances and time horizons.Sidepocket clients are able to identify their investor persona and invest in a portfolio of fully-automated tactical models that rebalance their allocation based on real-time market conditions, all within minutes. Sidepocket is the only investment management solution available to retail investors to generate an equal-weighted positive return in 2022 with real capital managed, and will be accessible both through a direct-to-client and B2B/API model.
