The CMG Traditional Asset Allocation Portfolios (“Portfolios”) allocate to a diversified selection of ETFs across equities and fixed income assets and multiple sub-asset classes. The goal of the Portfolios is to provide clients the capability to invest in a diversified core portfolio seeking high market beta exposure with a long-term investment time horizon.
Each Portfolio is designed with a risk target range and maintains a certain level of equity and bond exposure. The Strategic Portfolios are rebalanced annually while the Dynamic Portfolio rebalances quarterly. Asset classes and the proportional weightings in the portfolios may change at any time subject to the direction of CMG.
The CMG Strategic Conservative Portfolio seeks to provide a conservative level of capital appreciation by allocating approximately 30% to equities and 70% to fixed income assets. The portfolio is targeting an approximately 8% risk level as measured by standard deviation.
The CMG Strategic Moderate Portfolio seeks to provide a moderate level of capital appreciation by allocating approximately 60% to equities and 40% to fixed income assets. The portfolio is targeting an approximate 8% to 16% risk level as measured by standard deviation.
