Tactical Growth Strategy

Tactical Growth

Objective
The Broadmark Tactical Growth Portfolio seeks to produce above-average, risk-adjusted returns, in any market environment, while exhibiting less downside volatility than the S&P 500 Index.

Philosophy & Approach

  • Designed to help investors side-step market downturns, while participating in its growth via the continuous and active management of portfolio market exposure.
  • Seeks to manage risk and enhance alpha with the flexibility to take a long, short or neutral view on the market.
  • Designed to evaluate potential investments to isolate securities the sub-advisor believes are undervalued or overvalued relative to their intrinsic value and offer the greatest risk-adjusted potential for returns.
  • Made up of a diversified universe of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities. The portfolio may tactically deploy leveraged investment techniques as well as short exposure via inverse ETFs, which allow the portfolio to dynamically manage exposure to the equity markets.
  • Proprietary volume/breadth-based momentum models are used to determine optimal stock market exposure including entry points, the amount of exposure, the type of exposure and exit points.
