Strategy overview

The Dynamic US Equity strategy applies the widely recognized academic theory of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Capital Market Line (CML) to develop a portfolio of three broad exposures (S&P 500®, long Treasury bonds, and cash) designed to outperform the S&P 500® Index with a similar level of risk.

The strategy allows for modest leverage (up to 50%) to dynamically allocate across these three broad exposures or risk premium. By design, fundamental valuation, macro, volatility and tail-risk management are incorporated into the strategy, which historically has led to low downside participation and high upside participation.

Strategy profile

Objective

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Your capital may be at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
