Bluestone Elite Conservative

OBJECTIVE

Improve the risk adjusted return of a conservative investment portfolio over the course of a full market cycle utilizing tactical asset management.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The strategy utilizes ETFs and equities as well as fixed income securities for the purposes of portfolio construction. The Manager uses a top-down approach to identify sectors that we believe will produce strong or weak relative performance to the overall market and makes investments to capitalize on these market opinions. When the manager deems it appropriate to position the portfolio defensively, this strategy considers cash to be an asset class and will allocate a significant percentage to cash and cash equivalents.
