WHOLE PORTFOLIO RECOMMENDATION

How We Build Portfolios for Multiple Market Cycles

1. Equally allocate stock portion to Strategies Containing Always Invested Equity and Risk Managed Stocks to attempt to reduce downside over multiple market cycles.

2. Replace traditionally managed fixed income with tactical fixed income to potentially reduce interest rate and inflation sensitivity, and increase cash flow.

3. Identify managers employing investment disciplines within each strategy type that complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, potentially further dampening downside risk.

4. Adjust allocations to meet varying levels of return objectives and potential max drawdown.

Using managers with different performance attributes and investment styles will potentially help smooth the ride and eliminate the guesswork of trying to predict market direction. This may enable investors to stay committed to a portfolio through varying market cycles instead of focusing on short term returns.
