Determining Portfolio Performance
When it comes to portfolio construction, research shows that asset allocation can be one of the most important factors to influence overall performance. According to multiple academic studies, more than 90% of a portfolio’s success is determined by asset allocation. In addition, determining the correct investment classes, as well as the proper percentage to hold in each portfolio, is paramount to long-term success.

The Power of Knowing
When To HOLD
Market Guard® will assess the individual positions in the portfolio. If there are no signals to sell or buy particular investment positions, then the allocation will remain unchanged. Based upon the analysis of current market conditions, we will validate the decision to hold the current portfolio allocation.
When To SELL
Market Guard® will assess the individual positions in the portfolio and signal a possible opportune time to sell. Based upon the analysis of current market conditions, we will determine the quantity of shares to sell in an effort to help protect from unnecessary losses and volatility.
When To BUY
Market Guard® will assess the individual positions in the portfolio and signal a possible opportune time to invest. Based upon the analysis of current market conditions, we will determine the quantity of shares to purchase.
