From the blog: Over the past five years, diversified growth funds have generally performed well. In fact, all three median DGF series compiled by Camradata met or exceeded their return targets from January 2012 through December 2016.

However, this success appears to have been largely driven by strong stock and bond market returns.

The broad DGF universe has been highly correlated (often as high as 0.9) with a currency-hedged traditional global 50 per cent stock, 50 per cent bond portfolio.
