Alternative Sector Rotation Strategy

Alternative Sector Rotation Strategy

Alternative Sector Rotation Strategy INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Seeks long term growth of capital by investing in alternative asset classes as a way to compliment a traditional allocation and to offer diversification benefits. INVESTMENT APPROACH: A discretionary rotation strategy using ETFs that attempts to determine which segments of the alternative investment market, such as commodities, real estate, precious metals and energy are likely to outperform based on market conditions. When momentum begins to wane, positions are exited and moved into the sector that is showing the strongest potential. 2

Investment Process Invests only in long only ETFs in the commodities, energy and real estate sectors. Quantitative algorithmic model determines outperforming and underperforming sectors and provides investment signals. Management decision overlay conducted with fundamental analysis can override algorithmic signals and adjust sector exposure in extreme market conditions. Commodity price driven. In a strong dollar environment, commodity prices are negatively affected, but the strategy has the ability to move anywhere from 0-100% cash to hedge against downturns in the alternatives sector. Investment committee meets regularly to discuss holdings/weights and rebalancing of the portfolio. 3

Strategy Strengths Systematically traded to remove the emotional component from investment decisions. Invests in the best performing alternatives and is rebalanced monthly. Tactical approach to opportunistically capture return in outperforming sector. Concentrated exposure to specific industry sector to take advantage of investment opportunity. Employs technical analysis in portfolio construction with a fundamental macro overlay. Adds diversification to a balanced portfolio. Has the ability to invest anywhere from 0% to 100% cash to hedge against downturns in the alternatives sector. 4
