Notas do Editor
- We’ll begin withLPL Financial Research, our in house objective strategist on the platform.
- LPL Financial Research consists of accomplished industry veterans, comprising one of the largest and most experienced research groups among independent firms. They provide unbiased, objective recommendations, and are able to do so because they do not have proprietary investment products to sell, investment banking relationships to promote, or any other business conflicts that may influence their advice.Based on fundamental, valuation and technical analyses, LPL Financial Research evaluates the global financial markets to determine its market outlook. Then, the team evaluates a broad universe of investments, using both qualitative and quantitative assessments, to find the most appropriate mutual funds and/or Exchange Traded Products that align with its market view. Finally, the team assembles portfolios to suit each MWP client-focused theme, positioned to potentially perform best under the current market scenario. LPL Research portfolios are continually monitored and adjusted as market dynamics change -- either to help take advantage of opportunities or to protect against the downsides.
- LPL Financial Research offers a model in each investment theme. Their strategies range from conservative to aggressive. If appropriate for your portfolio, I will work with you to determine which of LPL Financial Research models are the best fit for you.
- AlphaSimplex Group's investment philosophy is based on the ‘Adaptive Market Hypothesis’ which states that portfolios must adapt to changing market conditions.
- AlphaSimplex Group specializes in risk-managed investment strategies. Their founder and Chief Investment Officer, Dr. Andrew Lo is a widely recognized authority on behavioral finance and alternative investing developed the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis, which states that the most successful strategies are those that can adapt to changing market conditions. This belief is the foundation for ASG’s investment philosophy and the basis for the LPL Financial Risk-Efficient Models.A risk-efficient strategy makes managing risk the top priority. Essentially, when the market is giving signs of risk, the portfolio cuts back on risky investments. When the market gives signs of less risk, the portfolio adds risk back to the portfolio. This strategy is not intended to outperform stocks and bonds during market rallies, but rather stabilize risk in all market conditions. As market conditions change, the portfolios shift assets strategically between riskier asset classes and those that are less volatile or offer the greatest diversification.
- AlphaSimplex Group offers three different portfolios; conservative, moderate and aggressive. The distinction here is how much risk the portfolio stabilizes. The aggressive portfolio stabilizes the most risk, conservative the least, and the moderate, right in the middle.
- BlackRock provides global scale and insights with institutional-quality risk management. They build well-diversified portfolios using a broad range of asset classes in a risk-aware mannerand identify opportunities through fundamental research and in-depth, highly focused, independent expertise from BlackRock's global scale and 'information advantage.' Though these factors are not a guarantee of enhanced portfolio return, it provides a process for diversification and risk management.
- BlackRock offers 4 model series offered in Model Wealth Portfolios along a range of investment objectives (Conservative through Aggressive).The Strategic Series can be used as a primary building block if you want immediate diversification. These models can also be used as a core portfolio holdingThe Tactical Series incorporates the same baseline of diversification as the Strategic Series. However – it includes the team’s fundamentally driven tactical insights. These models could be positioned as a ‘complete solution’. The Alpha/Beta Blends brings together BlackRock’s macro asset allocation views and security selection through their range of mutual funds. The Mutual Fund models combine the best of BlackRock mutual funds with a small sampling of ETFs.
- Cougar Global Investments believes the goal of investing is to generate compound growth that achieves your investment objectives. The primary means of achieving adequate compound growth is to avoid losing money.
- Dr. James Breech founded Cougar Global in 1993, the approach he developed was to measure risk as the failure to meet a “Minimum Acceptable Return” goal for the investors. Cougar Global attempts to avoid downside risk, and participate in upside opportunities. They have developed a unique approach to global investing. The investment process incorporates leading edge research into 1) the behavior of capital markets and 2) proprietary portfolio optimization.Cougar assesses the probability of five macroeconomic scenarios: Growth, Recession, Stagnation, Inflation and Chaos to determine how to optimize the portfolio. Cougar Global is then able to forecast scenarios and enter results into a proprietary portfolio optimizer in order to generate the optimal asset mix for each of their portfolios.
- Cougar Global Investments offers four portfolios each with the same philosophy, but with varied amounts of risk. The “Mar” or Minimum Acceptable Return” 12, the most aggressive portfolio allows for a 20% or less probability of negative returns. The most conservative model, Mar 6, allows for only 5% or less probability of negative returns.
- Innealta Capital is a quantitative asset manager that uses tactical multi asset class ETF portfolios.
- Innealta Capital is a division of Al Frank Asset Management (AFAM), a 34 year-old boutique asset management firm. Innealta has extensive experience managing multi-asset class. Innealta’s investment management team exercises a conservative approach focused on risk management and the core tenet of “Winning by Not Losing.” The firm’s investment process is governed by a disciplined, repeatable quantitative and econometric framework created by its Founder and Chief Investment Officer, Dr. Jeff Buetow, throughout his lengthy career. The framework is designed to determine attractive environments for equities and tactically alter asset class exposure to capitalize on favorable risk-adjusted investment opportunities for one asset class over another. The philosophy behind this process is to provide and construct for movement between asset classes that allows for risk adjusted returns regardless of the market environment. The quantitative framework consists of four sub components – Risk, Fundamentals, Economy, and Technicals – which cover all major aspects of the investment climate.
- Innealta Capital offers 6 Tactical ETF portfolios that fall under three categories: Rotation, Risk-Based, and stand alone Fixed Income.The Rotation Portfolios tactically alter exposures among the 10 S&P 500 GICS sectors in the Sector Rotation Portfolio and 28 international countries in the Country Rotation Portfolio based on the specific risk/reward characteristics of each. Dollars not allocated to equities are invested in an actively managed portfolio of fixed income ETFs. Sectors and countries are equally weighted: 10% is potentially given to each sector; 5% to each country.The Risk Based Portfolios apportion assets to equity classes based on the specific risk/reward characteristics of each. Dollars not allocated to equities are invested in a basket of primarily fixed income ETFs. Bullish or bearish signals generated by the quantitative model are used to adjust equity exposure within each portfolio by +/-20% relative to the long-term strategic asset allocation target of the portfolio in order to try to capture enhanced risk-adjusted returns. The Fixed Income Portfolio aims to generate above average yield with strict risk controls by consistently investing in those fixed income sectors that have strong risk-adjusted performance potential and eligible exchange traded fund representation. The portfolio is operated within a quantitative framework that seeks to objectively control the portfolio level yield, modified duration and volatility.
- J.P. Morgan Asset Management believes in reducing volatility and allocating assets in a way to maximize growth potential.
- J.P. Morgan Asset Management has more than $1.2 trillion in assets under management and a global network of nearly 300 analysts averaging 15 years experience. They create portfolios by understanding both the big picture of current economics and details on individual positions over an investment cycle.The Global Asset Management Group believes that your most important investment decision is how to allocate assets – the process of dividing your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. Additionally, in reducing volatility. When you invest in only one asset class, your entire portfolio suffers when that area of the market declines. GMAG strives to diversify your return potential. Stock and bond returns don’t always correlate. One may be up when the other is down and may cushion the loss, reduce risk and provide more consistent performance.Most importantly, they believe in helping you pursue your goals. I can help you select one of their models to create an asset mix that reflects your timeframe, return expectations and risk tolerance.
- JP Morgan offers models for investors who want to focus on capital appreciation, who are risk aware, or who are tax conscious. All models use JP Morgan’s proprietary funds and are highly diversified. Their models are constructed with a longer time frame in mind, but yet will make adjustments to the portfolio if a significant opportunity arises.
- Morningstar Investment Services’ philosophy is built on the belief that portfolios should maintain a risk profile commensurate with the desired long-term asset allocation guidelines provided to the client. They focus extensively on maintaining a careful balance between being allocated similarly to portfolio benchmarks and reflect their assessment of the values available in the current market.
- No matter which investment approach you chose, the model portfolios Morningstar Investment Services offers are designed to be part of a strategy that supports your financial well-being. Each portfolio is built for the long term and managed with a keen eye on risk in order to help your advisor put your needs front and center, where they belong.Morningstar employs a disciplined, consistent investment process. They actively manage portfolios to help take advantage of market opportunities, while being sensitive to costs and taxes. They believe in investing your money as if it were their own, and make communicating in a timely and candid fashion a priority. Could be considered as core holdings and built for the long term, their offerings are a natural extension of the Morningstar focus on providing innovative research and services to investors.
- Morningstar Investment Services offers models that are well-suited to capital appreciation, risk aware and tax conscious investors. Each model is carefully managed to stay in line with its investment focus, and each is an ideal core holding.The Capital appreciation models are diversified across a broad range of asset classes, based on an asset allocation established by Ibbotson Associated. The absolute return portfolio was created to help provide downside protection when markets get volatile and the tax-sensitive portfolios emphasize tax efficiency.
- Investments continually rotate in and out of favor, giving rise to both opportunities and risks. QA utilizes its proprietary Global Investment System to analyze relative price trends, and tactically rotate within and among traditional and alternative asset classes. In this way, they seek to capture upside opportunities, while managing downside risk.
- This slide shows the annual difference in returns between the “leaders” and “laggards.” The gap is significant and highlights the potential benefit of selecting the right investments at the right time for your portfolio.. The return patterns of large cap growth and small cap value illustrate the power of this point and QA’s investment philosophy.Traditional “buy and hold” strategies are not designed to take advantage of rotations in investment leadership. In fact, these strategies may neutralize performance gains as leading positions are offset by lagging ones. By contrast, QA’s strategies make adaptive or dynamic “tactical” moves within and among investment categories, creating the potential for significant additional returns.QA utilizes this active investment discipline in their full suite of investment strategies, including Core, Equity Flex and Alternative strategies.
- QA has a diverse set of models, they include traditional core strategies, Equity Flex versions that offer additional downside protection and their alternative strategy - Tactical All Market.
