Geometric mean maximization (“GMM”) seeks to achieve growth of the capital invested such that the terminal wealth is maximized as opposed to maximising risk adjusted returns as measured by= the Sharp ratio. Assets described as cost effective safe havens can be colloquially described as enhancing the GMM of a portfolio across various confidence levels. Base on simplified testing on a 100% S&P portfolio, Canadian farmland weighted pursuant to Veripath’s portfolio construction tool, appears to be such a safe haven at relatively modest allocation levels.
