Frequently asked questions
About CORVIX
What is CORVIX?
CORVIX is a market intelligence tool that tracks macro regimes and eight secular investment themes using a transparent, multi-signal scoring system. It shows you what's happening and why, rather than telling you what to do. See the full methodology for details.
Who is CORVIX for?
Self-directed investors who want a structured read on macro conditions and secular themes, and financial advisors who want to track client portfolios against that same framework. See the full breakdown on who CORVIX is for.
Is CORVIX financial advice?
No. CORVIX is informational and educational. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and we are not a registered investment advisor. See our full disclaimer for details.
Where does CORVIX's data come from?
CORVIX pulls from established market data and macroeconomic providers. Core signals refresh hourly, and market prices refresh daily after major exchanges close.

Understanding the concepts
What is a market regime?
A market regime is the broad backdrop conditions markets are operating under at a given time, like growth trending up or down and inflation running hot or cooling. CORVIX classifies the current regime using a cycle phase and a macro quad, refreshed on a live schedule. See today's actual read on market regime today, or the market regime glossary entry for the definition.
What does stagflation mean for investors?
Stagflation is a macro quad where growth is slowing while inflation stays elevated, a combination that's historically been hard on both stocks and bonds at the same time. CORVIX flags stagflation as one of its live macro quad labels so it's clear when that backdrop is in play. More in the macro quad glossary entry.
What is megatrend investing?
Megatrend investing means positioning around long-running structural shifts, in demographics, technology, policy, or inflation, that play out over years or decades rather than a single market cycle. CORVIX tracks eight secular megatrends and scores each one on a seven-subsignal framework. More in the megatrend glossary entry.
What is a backtest?
A backtest is a simulation of how a strategy would have performed on historical data. A good backtest only uses data that would have actually been available at each point in time. CORVIX's backtester is built point-in-time by design, with transaction costs applied on turnover. More in the point-in-time backtest glossary entry.
What does high yield spread widening mean?
The high yield spread is the extra interest rate risky corporate borrowers pay over safer government debt. When it widens, investors are pricing in more risk of default or a slowing economy, which is why it's a widely watched stress signal. CORVIX includes it as one input into its correction risk estimate. More in the high yield spread glossary entry.
How do I know what phase the market cycle is in?
Cycle phase, early, mid, late cycle, or recession, is read from a combination of growth, inflation, credit, and market signals rather than any single indicator. CORVIX publishes its current cycle phase read live as part of every regime update, with the reasoning behind it.
What is a conviction band?
A conviction band is a plain-English label, from High Conviction down to Falsified, that shows how strongly the evidence supports a given theme right now. CORVIX computes a band for each of its eight secular themes from seven weighted subsignals. More in the conviction band glossary entry.
What is a drawdown?
A drawdown is the decline from a portfolio's peak value to its subsequent low point, usually shown as a percentage. It's one of the clearest ways to see how much pain a strategy could put an investor through. CORVIX's backtester reports maximum drawdown alongside every return figure. More in the drawdown glossary entry.
What is correction risk?
Correction risk is an estimate of how likely markets are to see a meaningful pullback over the near term, based on current stress signals, not a prediction of an exact date. CORVIX publishes a live correction risk percentage as part of every regime read. More in the correction risk glossary entry.
