All-Weather Growth

Aggressive Growth in this strategy is achieved with the imposition of a large array of individual investment strategies including Global Macro ETFs with exposure to commodities, interest rates, international equities, leading market sector ETFs, global thematic ETFs, and inverse ETFs.

In addition, large cap, mid cap, and small cap stocks with market leading momentum in both earnings and price performance as well as leading Nasdaq performers are also selectively employed.

Tactical trading of US equity index ETFs based on algorithmic models of market internals and sentiment as well as investments that may employ leveraged ETFs are also considered.

Finally, The Wealth Quorum® Core Strategies as well as MarketGauge’s Tactical Core Equity Strategies may also be selectively employed at optimal times based on market conditions.

Money market instruments are employed when cash is raised between exiting positions and entering new investments.

This aggressive growth strategy allocates its assets across a handful of diverse investment methodologies, all of which focus on capitalizing on specific market themes and have impressive performance histories.

Each investment methodology has its own process for identifying opportunities, and all employ MG Asset Management’s proven tactical risk-managed trading systems for capturing alpha in the market segments they specialize in.

The Diverse Investment Methodologies Generating Alpha Within This Strategy:

• Large Cap Equity: Stocks in this market theme represent the S&P 500’s leading stocks based on MG Asset Management’s proprietary momentum indicators and seasonally advantageous holding periods.
• Large Cap Tech Equity: Stocks in this theme represent the Nasdaq 100’s leading stocks based on MG Asset Management’s proprietary momentum indicators and seasonally advantageous holding periods.
• Small & Mid Cap Equity: This theme holds stocks with a strong earnings growth history and market leading short-term and intermediate-term price momentum. The factors used for trade identification have proven to provide impressive performance that neither correlated nor dependent on small cap or mid cap benchmarks.
• Global Asset Rotation: This theme uses ETFs to actively invest in global macro trends such as regional equities, precious metals, soft commodities, energy, bonds, currencies, and more. The methodology invests in the leading trends based on MG Asset Management’s proprietary trend strength and momentum indicators.
• Tactical Core Equity: This unique methodology compliments any portfolio seeking alpha to outperform in bullish trending market environments while reducing exposure and drawdowns in negative volatility periods. This methodology actively invests in S&P 500 and Long Treasury Bond related ETFs. Its unusual trade selection process identifies opportunities using proprietary algorithms evaluating market internals data (market advances/declines, highs/lows, volatility measures, etc.). As a result of Its consistently low drawdowns, it offers the opportunity to provide leverage-enhanced returns while maintaining drawdowns that are less than the unleveraged benchmark.

The All-Weather Growth Strategy exemplifies our attention to tactical portfolio management centered around risk-managed strategies that deliver consistent outperformance with lower drawdowns.

For example, in the last 5 years the S&P 500 and the 60/40 Portfolio have had annual rates of return of 13.5% and 6.8% respectively. In the same time frame, our Large Cap Equity, Large Cap Tech Equity, and Small & Mid Cap Equity methodologies have returned average annual rates of return of 16.6%, 36.9%, and 33.1% respectively.

Additionally, the theme providing exposure to global assets and sector rotation has had an annual rate of return of 13.2%.

Finally, the Tactical Core Equity has had an average annual rate of return of 24.8%.

This consistent outperformance with lower drawdowns drives the compounded returns you’ll see in the chart provided here.

The very first step in the process is to contact us directly and schedule a brief consultation directly with our Managing Director, Clayton Anderson. During this brief call, it will be determined which onboarding process is likely most suitable for your needs. Mr. Anderson will then refer you directly to our team of onboarding professionals who will carefully examine your unique situation and guide you through the remainder of the process in the most seamless and expedited fashion possible.

Individual Investors will be seamlessly guided through a simple 3-step onboarding process.

1) First, a consultation will be scheduled with one of our registered investment advisors with our partners at MG Asset Management. During this consultation, your advisor will help you both determine and confirm your suitability for your desired strategy selection. Your advisor will then help you determine the optimal options for who will serve as the designated custodian for your assets. This could include an existing relationship you already have established or one that your advisor suggests. Your advisor will then prepare and explain all the necessary agreements to establish the relationship between yourself and MG Asset Management.

2) Second, your advisor will prepare, explain and execute all the necessary agreements between yourself, the custodian of choice and MG Asset Management.

3) Finally, your advisor will begin professionally managing your assets within your current custodial account (if feasible) or you will be assisted with transferring your assets to a new custodial account (if necessary) where they will be managed. You will then be provided with seamless instructions on how you can constantly monitor your account moving forward.

We will be constantly evaluating ways to improve and expedite this whole process using the latest technology among the rapidly expanding list of custodians we partner with.
