This is a low-cost solution for advisors offering an actively managed portfolio that is designed to meet your client’s needs. The Moderate Model is for long term investors who are concerned about capital preservation and income and who seek a balance with growth potential. This model is likely to entail fluctuations in value, but present less volatility than the overall stock market. The model dynamically moves between offensive and defensive strategies in a timely fashion. The methodology used is designed to follow trends in major market categories, asset classes, and the mutual funds available in the Jefferson National system. BCA model portfolios seek to enhance returns with comparable levels of risk to the various allocations found in the models by employing a momentum investment approach. Momentum investing seeks to capitalize on the persistence of ongoing trends in the market by dynamically allocating assets across mutual fund sectors, overweighting the best performing mutual fund sectors and underweighting the worst performing mutual fund sectors. Utilizing a momentum strategy provides the opportunity to potentially enhance returns to your model allocations. The base allocation framework and benchmark is 50% stock funds and 50% fixed income funds. As the model moves from offensive to defensive positions the allocations can vary within these parameters: Stock Funds: 0 - 50% Fixed Income Funds: 0 - 50% Cash: 0 - 100% Inverse Funds: 0 - 20% In the fund selection process, when there are multiple funds with similar strategies and performance histories, the fund with the lower fee structure will be selected. Disclosure - There is no assurance that the investment objectives will be met. The Funds volatility may materially exceed the volatility of the respective model allocations over the short and long term.

Flexible approach designed to move 100% of assets between three uncorrelated asset classes: High Yield when risk is on, thus seeking to capture equity exposure, Treasuries when risk is off, taking advantage of the flight to quality, Cash if there is not a risk-on / risk-off opportunity, in an effort to preserve capital.
This is a low-cost solution for advisors offering an actively managed portfolio that is designed to meet your client’s needs. The Aggressive Model is for long term investors who want good growth, are willing to accept market fluctuations and are still seeking protection from dramatic market moves. This model is likely to entail a fair amount of volatility but not as much as a portfolio invested exclusively in stock funds. The model dynamically moves between offensive and defensive strategies in a timely fashion. The methodology used is designed to follow trends in major market categories, asset classes, and the mutual funds available in the Jefferson National system. BCA model portfolios seek to enhance returns with comparable levels of risk to the various allocations found in the models by employing a momentum investment approach.

As the model moves from offensive to defensive positions the allocations can vary within these parameters: Stock Funds: 0 - 75% Fixed Income Funds: 0 - 25% Cash: 0 - 100% Inverse Funds: 0 - 30% In the fund selection process, when there are multiple funds with similar strategies and performance histories, the fund with the lower fee structure will be selected.

The advisor utilizes tactical asset allocation to periodically adjust the weightings between various asset classes represented in the portfolio. Utilizing proprietary valuation models, the advisor will overweight more attractive asset classes and underweight less attractive asset classes in an attempt to enhance returns and decrease risk in the overall portfolio. Allocation changes are limited to +/- 10% above or below the long-term strategic weightings so that portfolio diversification is not diminished. Reducing diversification could likely result in an increase in portfolio risk.
The Very Conservative portfolio seeks to preserve principal while generating modest growth and income.

BFP 100% Equity Growth uses the strategic investment allocation determined by Beaumont Financial Partners' Investment Committee to invest in equities across various global geographies, capitalization weights, and asset classes.
BFP 60/40 Moderate Growth seeks balanced returns by blending a 40% strategic fixed income allocation with the equity portfolio designed by Beaumont Financial Partners' Investment Committee to invest in equities across various global geographies, capitalization weights, and asset classes.
BFP 75/25 Growth seeks balanced returns by blending a 25% strategic fixed income allocation with the equity portfolio designed by Beaumont Financial Partners' Investment Committee to invest in equities across various global geographies, capitalization weights, and asset classes.
The goal of the Balanced Growth program is to provide long-term growth of capital from a portfolio of equity and fixed income ETFs or mutual funds during favorable market conditions, but which has the ability to move fully to cash or use defensive investments during periods that are determined to present above-average risk. The portfolio is diversified across multiple tactical investment strategies, each of which influences the investment holdings and directs the allocation between equities, fixed income, cash and defensive positions.
The objective of the Conservative Growth program is to provide investors with conservative growth through a portfolio composed primarily of bonds and income-oriented securities, with a small portion of the portfolio allocated to tactically managed equities. This strategy is designed for investors seeking a relatively conservative investment. While it is typically weighted 70% fixed income and 30% equities, this strategy maintains the flexibility to overweight or underweight either portion when conditions warrant.
The goal of the Diversified Growth program is to provide long-term growth of capital from a portfolio typically invested 100% in equity ETFs or mutual funds during favorable market conditions, yet retaining the ability to move fully to cash or defensive investments during periods determined to present above-average risk. The portfolio is diversified across multiple tactical investment strategies, each of which influences the investment holdings and directs the allocation between equities, fixed income, cash and defensive positions.
The Income Plus program works to provide income and growth through a portfolio primarily composed of bonds, and has the flexibility to use all bond asset classes. It can also utilize equity-income asset classes such as REIT’s, utilities, consumer staples and other high-dividend equity assets. The equityincome asset classes will typically be limited to 30% of the portfolio, but at the discretion of the portfolio manager, the allocation can be higher when opportunities are limited across bond asset classes.
Most corporate bond fund investors follow the "buy and hold" approach. They do well when bond prices are rising, but they can suffer loss of principal when interest rates rise or economic weakness causes bond prices to drop. The goal of the Managed Bond program which is sub-advised by Merit Advisors, is to provide investors with a measure of protection against such risks. When the program’s investment methodology generates a new sell signal from the technical indicators, the assets are moved from the bond fund(s) to either a money market fund, short-term or floating rate bond fund, or an inverse bond fund. In the past, this program has made as few as two trades (one round turn) and as many as twelve (6 round turns) per year. The methodology behind the Managed Bond program has been successful in reducing the risk while enhancing the returns.
The Tactical Market Index – Moderate program is designed for investors who want broad-based exposure to the U.S. stock market index as well as a riskmanagement strategy that can disengage from the market during periods historically deemed negative or when the strategy declines beyond a predetermined level. Models used to measure this risk evaluate factors such as the number of sectors and industries moving higher or lower, the number of global markets advancing or declining, and the relative performance of asset classes such as bonds, commodities and cash. Also considered, but at a lower weight, are monetary factors such as trends in interest rates and changes in money supply, and attitudinal elements such as the optimism or pessimism of market participants. Seasonal factors that historically influence changes in the amount of cash flowing into the stock market and levels of volatility that vary during times of the year are also taken into account.

The Formula is an investment model that specifies an asset allocation strategy based on the annual forecasting cycle and the four-year presidential election cycle. The model determines, in advance, when to be invested in equities and when to be invested in bonds. The investment components of the model are: the S&P MidCap 400 Index, the S&P 500 Index, the NASDAQ 100 Index, and an Intermediate Treasury Index fund. Over the course of the four-year election cycle, the model is invested 29% of the time in bonds and 71% of the time in equities.
The Alpha Bonds Strategy seeks to supplement the natural returns of select intermediate and short-term bond funds with a limited exposure to equities in the fourth quarter of the year. Each year, the strategy assumes a normal allocation of intermediate and short-term bond funds from January until late-October. At that point, 60% of the portfolio is dedicated to three predetermined sub-periods totaling 20 days in the fourth quarter using a leveraged (1.5 Beta) Russell 2000 index fund, while 40% of the portfolio remains in bonds. When not invested in the three sub-periods in the fourth quarter, 60% of the portfolio is invested in cash/money market fund.
The Alpha International Power Index Strategy is an asset allocation strategy which seeks to exploit seasonal trends which have been consistently prevalent for many decades in stock markets around the globe. Our research has revealed that these seasonal trends have historically “skewed” returns into certain months of the year, which we refer to as the “International Power Zone”. The strategy seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital while experiencing lower volatility than that of a simple buy-and-hold approach by employing the following investment rules on an annual basis: 1) Each year, hold a MSCI EAFE Index ETF fund during the months of January, February, March, April, July, November and December (seven-month “International Power Zone”); and 2) Each year, hold low-duration and/or intermediate-term conservative bond funds during the months of May, June, August, September and October (five-month “International Dead Zone”). As a result, equity exposure is constrained to approximately 60% of the available trading days each year.
The Alpha Mid-Cap Power Index Managed Account is an asset allocation strategy which seeks to exploit two seasonal influences on the stock market. These seasonal forces have historically “skewed” returns into certain months of the year and specific sub-periods in the final three months of the year. Each year, the Alpha Mid-Cap Power Index Managed Account holds an S&P MidCap 400 Index fund from late-October to the end of May and then invests in intermediate-term bond funds from June to late-October. As a result, equity exposure is constrained to 60% of the available trading days each year. During the fourth quarter of each year, the strategy raises the beta of the mid-cap index fund by 50% during three sub-periods totaling 20 days. These three sub-periods are influenced by end-of-month and holiday seasonal forces which are particularly robust in small and mid-cap stocks.
The Alpha Seasonal Strategy seeks to have exposure to equities during very restricted time periods, when the risk of loss is low, by exploiting persistent seasonal factors which have affected risk and return for decades. During each pre-election year of the four-year presidential election cycle, the strategy is fully invested in equities from January to the end of September (equally divided between S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100). During the post-election, mid-term and election years of the election cycle, the strategy is invested 50% in equities (S&P 500) and 50% in conservative bond funds from January to April, then shifts to 100% conservative bond funds until the end of October. During the fourth quarter of each year, the strategy is dedicated to three predetermined sub-periods totaling 20 days using a Russell 2000 index fund leveraged by 50%. When not invested in the three sub-periods in the fourth quarter, the model is invested in cash/money market fund.
The Quantfolios are adaptively managed portfolios constructed on an investment core complimented by the appropriate asset class and/or sector components.

This strategy is designed to provide moderate to aggressive growth while participating in U.S. markets both on the long (buy) side and short (inverse) side, and to limit portfolio volatility and risk of extensive loss. This strategy holds cash the majority of the time while waiting for the optimum opportunity to invest either on the long or short side. When Bull Bear does invest on the long side, it will buy a 150% leveraged S&P 500 index fund. The decision to move into the S&P 500-index fund is made by Potomac’s Investment Committee upon review of various technical market indicators, and only when they are strongest. If the market indicators used to make investment decisions turn strongly negative, Potomac’s Investment Committee may short the market through the use of an inverse fund.
