Identify Global Opportunities
World Class Research
Relative Strength Analysis
Ongoing Review
Within a diversified framework, we use a top down approach to tactically align our portfolios across global equity, fixed income, and alternative assets.
After opportunities are identified, fundamental research is used to determine the investments best positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.
Relative strength research is used on a consistent basis to trigger entry/exit points, inter-quarter tactical moves and downside protection measures.
The ongoing portfolio assessment includes performance reviews, a fundamental review of the positions held, and relative strength reviews of asset classes and sectors.
Our Protactical investment process combines fundamental and relative strength research to identify opportunities in the global marketplace, the investments best positioned to take advantage of those opportunities, and the timing to make those Protactical adjustments.

Passive Management
VSThe rise of the S&P 500 since its October lows along with lower volatility over recent weeks has pushed the index into a long term buy. Historically, this signal has been followed by significant further market gains. This rise has been the result of relatively strong U.S. corporate earnings in the third quarter and a string of positive 'surprises' in U.S. economic data. As a result, we have made some allocation updates in many of your portfolios and you will see the activity in your accounts. As always, we will continue to watch the markets daily and provide any updates as they come available.
In the ever changing global financial markets of the 21st century, a passive buy and hold approach fails to properly protect investors against downside risk, as many investors experienced in the market downturns of 2000 through 2002 and the financial crisis of 2008. We believe static buy and hold asset allocation models have failed to deliver adequate returns and downside protection during these market declines.
