Prime Time Opportunities Strategy

Risk Level: Above Average
Return Objective: Aggressive Growth

Strategy Description

The Prime Time Opportunities Strategy invests for capital appreciation. It focuses on finding fundamental value, but also employs a unique timing strategy: (TIPS): Timing Information for Purchase and Sale, to enhance/maximize the performance of the fund. This strategy is appropriate for investors with an aggressive risk tolerance, including those in retirement accounts. Because this is an aggressive strategy, investors who select this strategy should be able to withstand draw downs in order to achieve higher returns. Equities will be selected from: 1) well known U.S. stocks including those that have a strong or growing international presence; 2) lesser-known U.S.- and Canadian-listed stocks and income trusts operating around the world; and 2) ETFs. The strategy will generally seek positions with daily trading volumes in excess of 500,000 shares. A portion or all of the assets may be moved to a money market fund when market conditions warrant such a position. Assets can also be moved to short positions to attempt to take advantage of periods of market weakness.

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 than 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.
