Bollinger Band Strategy

Investment Summary
The Bollinger Band Strategy is applied to the ETFs GLD (representing gold) and USO (representing crude oil). The fundamental reason for the cointegration of the 2 is that inflation drives up both assets and hence they are cointegrated. The pair is tested for cointegration first, then half-life and hedge ratio of pairs is calculated. A bollinger band mean reversion strategy is formed for this portfolio generating consistent stable returns.

Investment’s Fundamental Concept:
A stationary portfolio is structured by combining 2 or more financial securities (non-stationary) whose price (net market value) is mean reverting. The strategy is profitable when investor buys the portfolio when it’s value is significantly below its long term mean and sells the portfolio when it’s value is significantly above its long term mean. The strategy’s aim is to capture gains from betting on reversion to the mean.
