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 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.
