Leveraging John Mauldin and CMG’s relationships with the world’s leading minds on investments, we have put together a lineup of excellent third-party money managers to complement your core portfolio allocation. In conjunction with Greenrock Research, a leading independent investment research firm based in Chicago, we are excited to provide access to the following strategies:
3EDGE Total Return Strategy — 3EDGE Asset Management is a global, multi-asset investment firm seeking to minimize the volatility of an all-equity portfolio. The firm combines science with sound judgment and long-term practical experience. Rather than approach their research from a traditional finance background, the research team comes from mathematics, physics, and engineering backgrounds.
Greenrock Research High & Growing Dividend Stock Strategy — This strategy selects stocks that pay a high dividend and have processes that invest in stocks with a history of growing their dividend. The portfolio utilizes large and small stocks and can incorporate non-U.S companies as well. Due to the emphasis on dividends, this portfolio produces returns that are less volatile than the general equity market, and we believe may produce higher returns over a full market cycle.
PCM Dynamic Risk Hedged U.S. Growth Strategy – The Peak Dynamic Risk Hedged U.S. Growth strategy’s primary objective is long-term capital appreciation through investment in U.S. equities and treasury’s. The investment process consists of choosing 6-10 of the best-in-class ETFs through an evaluation of costs, liquidity, and index methodology.

They provide a unique service by negotiating fees with investment managers on behalf of all our RIA clients. By providing this economy of scale, they keep the expense ratios the RIA client absorbs to be a bargain, lower than any other method. They are a boutique firm working with a significant RIA client base but not having any desire to be a supermarket firm. They develop deep relationships with their RIA clients, providing customization in a way that is unique to each firm. Delivering the right answer to investment problems is what drives them.
