The US Dividend Signal Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and dividend income by investing primarily in larger, established companies located in the US.

The Global Dividend Signal Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and dividend income by investing primarily in companies located around the world. It invests primarily in common stocks and ADRs that regularly pay dividends. Investments are selected based on higher relative dividend yields, dividend growth potential, and anticipated stock price appreciation. The Small-Mid Core Portfolio seeks to achieve above-average returns by constructing a style and sector diversified portfolio of small- and mid-sized company stocks. It invests in companies with earnings primarily focused on one business with reasonable valuations. The Global All Cap Dividend Signal Portfolio is a combination of the Global Dividend Signal and Small-Mid Core Strategies. The Tactical Growth Portfolio seeks to produce above-average, risk-adjusted returns, in any market environment, while exhibiting less downside volatility than the market itself.

The Adaptive Income Portfolio seeks to produce the highest level of income given a target level of risk. It invests across a diverse range of ETFs and dynamically adjusts the portfolio’s mix of assets to adapt to changing markets conditions.	Finance
