The goal of the Select Seasonality/Bond Asset Allocation Portfolio (
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.
Sector Focus provides long and inverse exposure to a broad range of asset classes. Holdings can include U.S. market sectors, broad based U.S. and international indices, fixed-income, and commodities.
The Tactical High Yield program seeks to use a combination of high yield bond mutual funds and Government bond funds (long and inverse) to achieve above-average total return through a combination of relatively high dividend income and short-term capital gains. It is actively managed, using a tactical approach. This approach tries to keep invested assets in high yield bond funds when market conditions are deemed favorable for this sector of the bond market. When high yield funds are out of favor, invested assets are positioned in money markets and a Government bond fund. No more than 50% of invested assets are invested in a Government bond fund at any given time.
The Inflexion Points Program is based on a trend following model. The model uses technical indicators, applied mathematics, and pattern recognition algorithms to determine if, and when, the market is changing direction from up-to-down and/or from down-to-up (mathematically, an inflection point). It then uses artificial intelligence algorithms to ascertain if the market is indeed forming into an sustainable, new intermediate-term trend. In addition, the model has self learning, self correcting algorithms that attempt to limit drawdowns. Inflexion Points employs equity index mutual funds/sub-accounts. Up to 100% of an account’s assets may be committed to either long, inverse, or money market positions on any given day.
The Equity Alternative program employs U.S. government bond long and inverse mutual funds in an actively managed, tactical approach. Assets are allocated up to 100% to the inverse, long, or money market fund, according to the program’s model which is based on a combination of technical and fundamental analysis. Equity Alternative incorporates a risk management overlay that is designed to deliver lower market exposure during periods of high volatility in the Treasury bond market.

The Quantitative Income Program seeks to provide conservative growth using primarily fixed-income investments. Quantitative Income attempts to mitigate risk by trying to capture intermediate time-frame movements in U.S. government bonds in both rising and falling markets.
The strength of the All Seasons Program lies in our proprietary research showing markets have patterns that have historically tended to repeat themselves throughout a market cycle. All Seasons categorizes the current stage of the market cycle into one of four phases: Overbought, Stable, Unstable, and Oversold. All Seasons relies on historical data from the past 10+ years (past performance is not indicative of future results) that identifies which asset classes tend to perform best depending on the current market phase. All Seasons seeks to invest in historically favorable market segments in proportions reflective of current market conditions as defined by these phases. These phases can change daily (for non-trending market periods) or can generally last for weeks (for strongly trending market periods).
For the more aggressive investor. Stays fully invested in markets at all times seeking aggressive portfolio performance. In Bear markets Allocation Plus seeks to mitigate losses by using Gov't Bond funds and inverse funds to capitalize on declining market conditions.

This objective is most suitable for the needs of growth investors who are willing to accept greater risk in search of larger returns. The Growth Model will allow up to 100% to be invested in, Domestic Equity, International/Global or Bonds. Does have the capability to go to 100% Money Market fund.
This objective is most suitable for the needs of clients desiring moderate growth of capital. The Moderate Model will allow no more than 60% to be invested in Domestic and International Equity funds, and no more than 80% in Bonds. Does have the capability to go to 100% Money Market fund.

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 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 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.
Enhanced Allocation - Sector follows a systematic approach that can be thought of as a sector rotation model with the ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Drawing from years of academic and market research, the strategy embraces the concept of momentum investing which analyzes and ranks a diverse universe of sector and fixed income funds based on recent performance. The program invests in the highest ranked securities under the premise that they will continue to be strong performers for the next period. Prior to re-allocating each period, EA - Sector will evaluate the primary trend of the market. During unfavorable market conditions, the strategy will allocate completely to fixed income or money market funds in an effort to preserve capital. During favorable conditions, the strategy ranks all available funds based on recent performance using a proprietary momentum based algorithm.

Bull Cipher is a long/neutral strategy that invests in equity index funds. Signals are generated on a daily basis and may be short-term in nature. The strategy focuses on mean-reversion based set-ups. Bull Cipher is an absolute return model that seeks a positive rate of return over the course of a calendar year regardless of market conditions. The strategy may be positioned heavily in money market funds for periods of time, waiting for high probability opportunities.
Tactical Unconstrained Growth (TUG) provides the opportunity to take advantage of both bull and bear markets through the use of strategic long equity positions in addition to long/short Treasury and money market positions. Looking to capitalize upon the noncorrelation between equities and bonds, the program will assess which asset class provides the best opportunity in light of prevailing market conditions. When the equity markets become indecisive, TUG seeks to both protect and benefit from the periodic reversals in equities by allocating into money market positions.
Tactical SPX is a long/short strategy that evaluates multiple indicators to project market direction. The methodology was first launched in 2002 by a pioneer in the world of quantitative investing. Tactical SPX uses a 1.5X S&P 500 fund when it is long the market, and an inverse S&P 500 fund when short. A review of historic signals indicates the strategy will be invested in the market approximately 50% of the time and in the safety of money market the other 50% of the time.
Adaptive High Yield attempts to capitalize on intermediate-term trends within the high yield bond arena. When a buy signal is generated, it will purchase one or more high-yield bond funds. The strategy reviews the market daily and maintains the ability to shift assets to the safety of a money-market fund during adverse market conditions. Adaptive High Yield is expected to reallocate 4 - 8 times each year.

The CMG Opportunistic All Asset Strategy utilizes a model driven investment process that evaluates a global universe of investment options to select a portfolio of up to 11 Variable Insurance Trust (VIT) positions. The tactical longonly model will then rank each investment based solely on the price data of each asset. Those VITs with the highest probabilities for success will be chosen and then reevaluated after a set time period to see if they are still exhibiting market leadership. The strategy seeks to adjust allocations within the portfolio to capitalize on everchanging opportunities across global equity and fixed income markets.
The CMG Large Cap Long/Flat Strategy utilizes trend and mean reversion indicators across a broad set of the S&P 500 sector industry groups to determine the overall state of the technical health, as measured by the breadth and momentum, of the large cap equity market. The strategy invests in large cap equity ETF(s) when the weight of technical evidence is bullish and will scale the allocation up and down (100%, 80% or 40% long) based on the strength of the technical evidence. When the technical evidence is fully bearish, the portfolio moves to short-term Treasury Bill ETF(s). The strategy offers a systematic way to raise or lower a portion of a portfolio's overall total equity exposure. The investment objective is aggressive growth with downside protection.
The CMG Large Cap Long/Short Strategy utilizes trend and mean reversion indicators across a broad set of the S&P 500 sector industry groups to determine the overall state of technical health, as measured by the breadth and momentum, of the large cap equity market. The strategy positions in large-cap equity ETF(s) when the weight of technical evidence is bullish and will scale the allocation up and down (100% or 50% long) based on the strength of the technical evidence. When the technical evidence is fully bearish, it positions in inverse large-cap equity ETF(s). The strategy offers a systematic way to raise or lower a portion of a portfolio's overall total equity exposure. The investment objective is aggressive growth with downside protection.
The CMG Beta Rotation Strategy seeks to enhance the role of equities in a client portfolio by employing a disciplined process to measure market price trends. The investment objective is to outperform broad equity markets while simultaneously reducing risk. The process invests in the U.S. equity market when the market is demonstrating strong price trend. Otherwise the process invests in the utility sector when utility stocks are demonstrating strong price trend. The Utilities sector is defensive and has exhibited low correlation to broad equity markets. During rare periods of broad based negative price trends, the process may invest 100% in cash.
The CMG Managed High Yield Bond Program trades high yield bond mutual funds using a proprietary model developed by CEO Steve Blumenthal. The model identifies opportunities where the short-term and intermediate-term direction of the U.S. high yield market can be predicted with high probability. The model looks at daily data such as price, volume, yield spreads and default rates to generate “buy”, “sell”, and “hold” signals.
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.

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.
