CORE STRATEGY
The core strategy consists of holdings that are based on market fundamentals, valuations, and long-term market trends. These are holding that should be considered “long-term” investments and should primarily track the benchmark index over time. The turnover of the portfolio should be extremely low with the exception of rebalancing periods due to market gyrations.
TACTICAL STRATEGY
The tactical strategy consists of holdings which based on the short- to intermediate-term trends of the market. As macro-economic, monetary and fiscal policy, and investor psychology impacts markets, the holdings in the tactical strategy will shift to take advantage of market rotations. Importantly, this portion of the portfolio can move to all cash if needed to reduce risk in the event of a market downturn.
FIXED INCOME
The fixed income strategy is designed to both take advantage of changes in interest rate and inflation expectations, but also deliver a lower degree of volatility to the overall portfolio. The primary focus of the fixed-income portfolio is to protect capital, generate income, and lower overall portfolio volatility.

Commentary
The market has started off a bit rough this year as it grapples between a flood of liquidity still coming into the markets versus a Fed intent on reducing monetary accommodation to battle surging inflation. Our instructions over the last couple of weeks remain with sell signals currently in place.
Start by rebalancing portfolios back to target allocation levels. In particular, look to reduce high beta, risky assets more towards value versus growth. Also, add to existing bond holdings which will benefit from a fall in yields as the Fed becomes more aggressive against inflation.
While the market has not violated any important trend or support levels, we are still maintaining very tight stop-losses on our portfolios.
For now, all NEW contributions should be stored in your cash alternative or stable value fund. If you don’t have access to either use the shortest-duration bond fund in your choices. (If you need help, email me.)
International, emerging, small and mid-cap funds are still lagging so avoid them for now. However, we are starting to see a rotation to value funds. We are watching to see if that trend becomes “sticky,” if it does we will make a model wide adjustment to equity holdings.
If you are close to retirement or are concerned about a pickup in volatility, there is nothing wrong with being underweight equities. It is better to be safe than have to give up dreams of retirement to rebuild lost wealth.
