Proprietary Market Scanning Service
Our scans identify the top performing sectors and best entry
points automatically. We utilize on a daily basis some of the
most sophisticated and complicated mathematical and statistical
models on the market sectors and indexes we track.
Eliminate company specific risk
We only buy sectors and indexes using exchange-traded funds to
eliminate company specific risks that have the potential to
pummel single company stock valuations. Examples of company
specific risks are fraud, bankruptcy, adverse litigation, and
natural disasters.
Capital Preservation
Our investment philosophy is diametrically opposed to most
mutual funds companies. Our default position is having our
capital out the market; it is only deployed in sectors and
indexes when established trends are confirmed. Every position
in our portfolio has established stop-loss exit points to
protect our capital base.
Low Correlation Asset Allocation
Our unique approach to asset allocation divides our portfolio
holdings into non-correlated groupings that diversify across the
4 major asset classes, the 6 major global regions, the 4 major
global currencies, and all major industry sectors.
Diversification of economic regions
The US market is only 1 of 6 major global economic regions in
the world. The European Monetary Union, Japan, Far East,
Americas, and UK represent 5 other major economic regions that
form a part of our portfolio.
Ease of use and implementation
Our process was designed for busy people who want succinct
information that is easy to implement and requires little time
to follow. We publish every second Monday. E-mail alerts are
sent mid-week when changes are made to any of the model
portfolios.

Diversification of currency risk
Any changes in the USD, Yen, Pound or Euro can have dramatic
effects on a portfolio once the exchange gains/losses are
factored back into the home currency. Managing currency risk
ensures our portfolio is diversified across the 4 major global
currencies.
Market Timing
Timing the exit and entry of positions helps to preserve capital
as well as catch major movements in markets. Non-correlated
asset classes and industry sectors invariably move at different
times during the market cycle. By timing the entry point as
well as the sector invested, efficiencies are gained and can
capture larger cumulative gains over the same period of time as
a buy and hold strategy.
Sector Rotation
Our active asset management strategy tactically overweighs
strong performing sectors and asset classes while under
weighting poor performing sectors to enhance overall returns.
Reduced Volatility
Managing correlation risk between asset classes and sectors
helps to reduce our portfolio volatility. We select our
portfolio holdings from non-correlated segments to ensure that
our combined portfolio volatility risk is lower that simply
buying the market.
Save your time
Most people do not have the required time or market resources to
research and scan the markets on a daily basis. Our service
completes this time consuming daily task on your behalf.
Save your money
Active Sectors preserves your invested capital while at the same
time reducing the annual fees you pay to manage your funds.
People who take control of their own portfolios can save
thousands of dollars each year avoiding costly mutual fund MER
fees, 12B-1 fees, and sales fees which can total more than 2.5%
of a portfolio annually. |
