This strategy invests in sector and/or index ETF’s* while employing a STOP loss protection discipline. This rules-based strategy utilizes a set of technical indicators that create a signal to “sell” as a possible downtrend is developing, and conversely, create a signal to “buy” after a correction phase has run its course and the markets begin to recover and rally. The model is invested either in the ETF(s), in cash/cash equivalents, or in a combination of both at the discretion of the TPM portfolio manager and is based on a proprietary set of indicators used to determine the prevailing risk level in the stock market.

The portfolio’s objective is to be invested during uptrends or to be on the sidelines during corrections and/or bear markets. (*Inverse ETF’s can also be employed.)
