Global Tactical Allocation Strategy

Risk Level: Above Average
Return Objective: Aggressive Growth

Strategy Description

This strategy is designed to take advantage of diverse investment relationships that exist in the economy. The strategy invests in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) or mutual funds in six primary asset categories: domestic equities, international equities, domestic bonds, international bonds, real estate, and cash. The strategy can hold several positions at any given time. Assets may be moved to a money market fund when market conditions warrant such a position.

Investment Objectives

This investment strategy is designed for aggressive capital growth. Because this strategy seeks maximum returns, diversification may be limited and there is substantial risk. Because of these factors, this strategy is suitable only for aggressive investors who are prepared to withstand draw-downs in an effort to earn larger profits. Funds selected may have volatility equal to or greater then that of the S&P 500 index. Assets may also be moved to a money market fund if it appears that is the best procedure for avoiding capital loss during periods of high market risk. Investors must understand that high volatility and risk are inherent in strategies that seek a high return.
