No footnotes date February 2011 Tactical asset allocation TAA is a dynamic investment strategy that actively adjusts a portfolio s asset allocation . The goal of a TAA strategy is to improve the risk adjusted returns of passive management investing. TAA strategies can be either discretionary or systematic. In discretionary tactical asset allocation strategies, an investor modifies his asset allocation according to the valuation of the markets, in which they are invested. Thus, someone invested heavily in stock s might reduce their position when they perceive that other securities, such as Bond finance bond s, are poised to outperform stocks. Unlike stock picking , in which the investor predicts which individual stocks will perform well, tactical asset allocation involves only judgments of the future return of complete markets or sectors. As such, some practitioners perceive it as a natural supplement to mutual fund investing, including passive management investing. Systematic tactical asset allocation strategies use a quantitative investment model to systematically exploit market anomaly inefficiencies or temporary imbalances in equilibrium values among different asset classes. They are often based on known financial market anomalies inefficiencies that are supported by academic and practitioner research. For example, many systematic TAA strategies use quantitative Trend following Trend Following or Relative strength Relative Strength techniques to produce excess investment returns ...

Dynamic asset allocation is a strategy used by investment products such as hedge funds , mutual funds , credit derivatives , index fund s, principal protected notes also known as guaranteed linked notes and other structured investment products to achieve exposure to various investment opportunities and provide 100 principal protection. Dynamic asset allocation includes constant proportion portfolio insurance CPPI , which consists of a guarantee, notionally related to a zero coupon bond and an underlying investment. Assets are dynamically shifted or allocated between these two components depending largely on the performance of the underlying investments, and based on some . In some cases, certain products can use a borrowing facility to enhance exposure if the underlying investments experience strong returns. If the underlying investments decline in value, CPPI automatically deleverages, reducing exposure in falling markets.

In such schemes, competing firms allocate specific customers or types of customers, products, or territories among themselves. For example, one competitor will be allowed to sell to, or bid on contracts let by, certain customers or types of customers. In return, he or she will not sell to, or bid on contracts let by, customers allocated to the other competitors. In other schemes, competitors agree to sell only to customers in certain geographic areas and refuse to sell to, or quote intentionally high prices to, customers in geographic areas allocated to conspirator companies.

When a GSM Global System for Mobile Communications mobile phone is served by a cellular network cell that is hopping over a set of frequencies, the separate traffic channels hop over the allocated frequencies according to a hopping sequence number HSN . The traffic channels with the same HSN hop over the same frequencies in the same order but are separated in time by a mobile allocation index offset MAIO . The smallest amount of interference on a site is achieved if it is possible to synchronize all channels on the site and separate the channels using the MAIO. Every cell is assigned a Cell Allocation CA Table. This is the set of ARFCNs that are used within the Cell. The Mobile Allocation MA Table is a subset of this CA Table. This table contains a list of ARFCNs that the traffic channels of that cell will hop through. The MAIO gives the index into this list from which the first ARFCN will be picked by the cell to start the hopping sequence. Every mobile station will be supplied with the MA Table and MAIO for a given dedicated connection. Using the MA table and the MAIO, the mobile station will hop in the exact sequence as the cell in dedicated mode to achieve frequency diversity. Thus, the MA Table, MAIO and the Hopping Sequence Number HSN completely configure a hopping sequence procedure which the mobile station and the cell will follow.

orphan date May 2010 Confusing date May 2010 Stock price and bond yield movements are connected to changes in the economic environment. The cyclical approach to Tactical asset allocation involves monitoring economic environment for patterns that have historically led to trends in stock market movements. These are guidelines that can be followed to ascertain changes in market direction to a varying level of accuracy. This is very helpful to the investment decision since an exact reversal point is practically impossible to determine. Investors can use this information to improve their performance by modifying their strategic asset allocations. In this way, an investor with an asset mix of stocks and bonds could use the cyclical approach to tactical asset allocation to rebalance their weighting in a favorable manner based on the economic cycle. For example, the investor could increase the allocation in Bond finance bond s and decrease the allocation in Stock equities when it is expected that the economy is heading into a recession . Historically, bonds have outperformed stocks in recessionary periods and that would be the reason for this decision.

The Type Allocation Code TAC is the initial eight numerical digit digit portion of the 15 digit International Mobile Equipment Identity IMEI code used to uniquely identify wireless devices. The Type Allocation Code identifies a particular model and often revision of wireless telephone for use on a GSM , UMTS or other IMEI supporting wireless network. The first two digits of the TAC are the Reporting Body Identifier . This indicates the GSMA approved group that allocated the TAC. Prior to April 1, 2004, the global standard for the IMEI started with a six digit Type Approval Code followed by a two digit Final Assembly Code FAC . The Type Approval Code also known as TAC indicated that the particular device was approved by a national GSM approval body and the FAC identified the company that had built and assembled the device which is not always the same as the brand name stamped on the device . Effective on that date, many GSM member nations and entities mainly Europe moved away from requiring that devices be approved by national bodies, and towards a system where device manufacturers self regulate the device market. As a result, a manufacturer now simply requests an eight digit Type Allocation Code for a new phone model from the international GSM standards body, instead of submitting a device for approval to a national review body. Both the old and new TAC uniquely identify a model of phone, although some models may have more than one code, depending on revision, manufacturing location, and other factors.

A percent allocation management module , or PAMM , which may also be referred to as percent allocation money management , describes a software application used predominantly by foreign exchange market forex broker s to allow their clients to attach money to a specific trader managing one or more accounts appointed on the basis of a limited power of attorney . PAMM solution allows the trader on one trading platform to manage simultaneously unlimited quantity of managed accounts. Depending on the size of the deposit each managed account has its own ratio in PAMM. Trader s activity results trades, profit and loss are allocated between managed accounts according to the ratio. Because currency trading and other forms of arbitrage achieve profitability within very narrow margins, typically, a PAMM system allows more money to be brought into play while distributing the risk of one trader across usually multiple investors. Example Lets assume that there are 3 managed accounts under trader s management 1. USD account with deposit of 100,000 and ratio 9.3 2. EUR account with deposit of 400,000 and ratio 49.5 3. GBP account with deposit of 300,000 and ratio 41.2 Depending on funded amounts different ratios are applied for managed account for ratio calculation all amounts are converted in USD equivalent based on market rate . In case if, for example, Trader Money Manager decides to BUY 10 mio EURUSD, PAMM allocates the order between managed accounts according to its ratio. Each managed account has its own part of position and corresponding Profit & Loss. In current example the first managed account will get position LONG 930,000 EUR USD, the second LONG 4,950,000 EUR USD and the third LONG 4,120,000 EUR USD.

Orphan date February 2009 The Network Allocation Vector NAV is virtual carrier sensing mechanism used with wireless network protocols such as IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16 WiMax . The virtual carrier sensing is a logical abstraction which limits the need for physical carrier sensing at the air interface in order to save power. The Media Access Control MAC layer frame headers contain a Duration field that specifies the transmission time required for the frame, in which time the medium will be busy. The stations listening on the wireless medium read the Duration field and set their NAV, which is an indicator for a station on how long it must defer from accessing the medium. The NAV may be thought of as a counter, which counts down to zero at a uniform rate. When the counter is zero, the virtual CS indication is that the medium is idle when nonzero, the indication is busy. The medium shall be determined to be busy when the STA is transmitting. Station networking Wireless stations are often battery powered, so in order to conserve power the stations may enter a power saving mode. A station decrements its NAV counter until it becomes zero, at which time it is awaken to sense the medium again. The NAV virtual carrier sensing mechanism is a prominent part of the Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance CSMA CA Media Access Control MAC protocol used with IEEE 802.11 WLANs.
