Strategy card
- Name
- Boulevardier 1.0
- Released
- June 2026
- Built on
- Centaurium 1.0 — the custom-trained AI forecaster
- Universe
- US mid-cap equities · long-only
- Status
- Closed 2026-09-08 with no successor. Its cross-name ranking did not survive the move to Centaurium 1.1, and we would rather retire a strategy than re-point one whose edge we can no longer reproduce.
- Risk shape
- Near index-level exposure with a regime-adaptive tilt; built to be read against a broad index fund on both risk and return.
- Approach
- Ranks the universe by the model’s odds each bar and tilts a broad book toward the favourable names — a small, diversified edge, not a handful of big bets.
Who it’s for: Mainstream copiers comparing a strategy against an index fund. The flagship of the 1.0 line. The edge is risk-shaping and universe selection, not stock-picking — better-shaped equity exposure, clearly labelled.

The 2022–2024 backtest
Three years that did the work of a cycle: a bear (2022), a choppy recovery (2023) and a bull (2024). Here is how Boulevardier 1.0 behaved in each, next to the S&P 500.
Near-index exposure: in 2022 it tracked close to the S&P 500’s drawdown (−17.7% vs −18.1%), then ran with the recovery.
Year by year
| Setting | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 7yr | Max DD | Calmar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced · wider cap | −17.7% | +11.6% | +34.1% | +15.6% | −24.7% | 0.38 |
| Lower-drawdown · tighter cap | −11.7% | +8.0% | +22.9% | +10.9% | −16.1% | 0.40 |
| S&P 500 (SPY) | −18.1% | +26.3% | +25.0% | +18.2% | −25.0% | 0.44 |
Over a full cycle
Markets do not repeat 2024 forever. We assume a realistic cycle — of every 7 years, 1 looks like 2022 (bear), 3 like 2023 (neutral) and 3 like 2024 (bull) — and compound the three actual backtest years accordingly.
Compounds below the index in this backtest, under the same cycle assumption.
Medium confidence: a near-unit-beta index proxy, so the value was its index-relative risk shape, not a claim to out-pick the market.
