Global Select Strategy

Strategy Dynamics

The Tone Capital Global Select Strategy seeks long- term capital appreciation as well as capital preservation by selecting ETFs from a universe representing both conventional and alternative asset classes. The portfolio employs a proprietary, model-based tactical rotation methodology based on relative momentum and volatility factors. The strategy invests in US Equities, Developed International and Emerging Market Equities, US Treasuries, Investment-Grade Corporate Bonds, Real Estate, and Gold. The model allocates to growth assets in favorable market environments, systematically seeking relative strength in multiple asset classes, or rotates to conservative assets to preserve capital in unfavorable market conditions.

Characteristics
