Strategy Description:  The CMG Tactical Equity Strategy promotes exposure to global equities in investment portfolios by employing a dynamic approach to investing.  Addressing the challenges of aligning portfolio allocations with investment objectives, the strategy seeks to achieve relative outperformance of the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) by investing in certain exchange-traded funds (ETFs) while simultaneously employing a risk management approach within the process.  The strategy utilizes a rule-based, algorithmic investment process that evaluates a global universe of equity investment options.  The strategy dynamically adjusts allocations within the portfolio by utilizing CMG’s proprietary relative strength investment algorithm to capitalize on a wide range of equity opportunities.  The portfolio typically holds ten positions at any point in time.  The strategy strives to capitalize on opportunities across global equities as outlined below:

  • Domestic Equities: Large-cap, Mid-cap, Small-cap, Value, Growth, Sector
  • International Developed Equities: Various Developed Market Country-specific
  • Emerging Market Equities: Various Emerging Market Country-specific

Benefits:
