This model will take long or short positions in various assets as our proprietary research dictates.
We use a combination top down and bottom up approach.  We rely on the proprietary models we have developed over the last 17 years to determine if global conditions are deemed bullish or bearish.
Our disciplined research process is based upon esoteric publicly available information often overlooked by the investing public.  That information is used to evaluate securities on specific value, growth and momentum metrics.  Those values are used in proprietary models to determine the most undervalued or overvalued equities.
Ever effort is made to keep the portfolio diversified, but the portfolio can be extremely concentrated when overwhelming value is discovered in particular industries or asset classes.  We target 12.5% of the portfolio in each security, but this can vary greatly depending upon various factors, including macro economic conditions.   We use diversified ETFs when it is more efficient than individual securities to express our investment theme.
Securities are sold when our target price is reached, when our original thesis is proven false, or when another position offers more potential reward.  This portfolio will experience significant turnover as our analysts consistently uncover new investment opportunities.
