Growth-Value Switching Data

This is the raw data for Switching between Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Value portfolios. The combined stock allocation is 75%. The remaining 25% allocation is in T-Bills.

This uses Gummy’s database.
Gummy's (Peter Ponzo's) Database

This uses my Gummy 04A01 (January 28, 2005) version of the Deluxe Calculator V1.1A08.

Period examined: 1928-1980.
30-Year Historical Surviving Withdrawal Rates.

Portfolios A and B

Portfolio A (replaces stocks):
1) 75% Large Cap Growth Stocks
2) 25% T-Bills

Portfolio A only:
Thresholds set to: 2-78-79-80
Allocations set to: 100%-100%-0%-0%-0%

Withdrawal rate for first occurrence of the number of failures:
1 Failure: 3.7% (1966, 1968)
5 Failures: 3.9%
10 Failures: 4.2%

Portfolio B (replaces commercial paper):
1) 75% Large Cap Value Stocks
2) 25% T-Bills

Portfolio B only:
Thresholds set to: 2-78-79-80
Allocations set to: 100%-0%-0%-0%-0%

Withdrawal rate for first occurrence of the number of failures:
1 Failure: 4.1% (1929, 1930)
5 Failures: 5.6%
10 Failures: 6.6%

Portfolio A when below threshold. Portfolio B when above threshold.

With Switching between Portfolios A and B, I treat Large Cap Growth as the stock component. I treat Large Cap Value as if it were commercial paper.
