This portfolio employs a strategic approach to buying and selling positions in an attempt to outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy. It presents a viable alternative and complement to long-term position investors, offering favorable exposure characteristics.
The portfolio does not allocate its entire allocation to the market at all times but selectively acquires and sells positions on a daily basis. At times, only one or two positions may be held, but this can rapidly increase if favorable market conditions arise.
Subsequently, this strategy incorporates a small collection of four complementary strategies for acquiring index-related equities and selecting leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
