A synthetic stock index fund

Hi, the client has a view that the large-cap stocks will underperform cash. Why implemented the synthetic stock index fund by buying both risk-free bonds and S&P 500 index futures? Because as the large-cap will underperform, the S&P 500 index will go down. Am I missing sth here? Thanks

But for the first 3 months, equity performance is expected to be positive, so you only equitize the cash for the first 3 months. The equity market is expected to underperform cash after 3 months.

Got it, thanks @fino_abama. I should have read it a bit more carefully.
