Active Investment Management

Is Your Portfolio Suffering From...

Outdated Ineffective

Passive Asset Allocation or Buy and Hold?

After seeing what happened to investors after the 2000 recession and during the financial crisis of 2008, Buy and Hold, Set It & Forget It Asset Allocation portfolios saw 30, 40 even 50% drawdowns - not once, but twice in 12 years.  We know there is a better investment strategy.

Pie Chart (Asset Allocation) is a Failed and Ineffective Investment Strategy.  Why would you own investments going down for prolonged periods of time?  Why would you own Relatively Weak Investment Assets or Sectors that are not right for the current investment cycle?  Why would you Hold on and sit ideally by as your portfloio drops 50%?  You no longer have to with GTOP!

Your investment strategy Must be Adaptive for the Safety of Your Retirement

Our investment strategy is

All of our Global Tactical Opportunity Portfolios (GTOP Models) focus on Active Management to Grow and Protect Your Retirement Portfolio. 

Our investment strategy is simple to understand - we own Relatively Stronger investment assets or sectors based on our proprietary relative strength strategy in an uptrend and sell Relatively Weaker investment assets or sector in a downtrend. We encompass all broad based investment sectors in our GTOP strategy, not just stock or bond sectors. 

Sometimes that means going to Cash or alternative, safe investment assets when our GTOP investment strategy dictates it is time to get conservative. 

You do not need to "buy and hold" the stock market or any weak investment sector as it drops 30, 40 or even 50% again.  Our investment strategy is Extremely Adaptive to changing market and investment conditions.  Risk management is an important part of our GTOP investment strategy!

We do not accept the "Buy and Hold or Set It and Forget It" mentality…neither should you!  Your retirement depends on it.

It’s time to Grow and Protect your retirement portfolio. 

Why we manage your Investment Portfolio this way...

Exhaustive Research has shown...

Relatively Stronger Investment Sectors Historically have outperformed...the fastest horse.

Relatively Weaker Investment Sectors Historically have underperformed...the slowest horse.
