Index Selection Process Details

The Donoghue Forlines Momentum Fund (the Fund) is a rules-based strategy that tracks a proprietary Index identified in the Fund’s prospectus. The Fund employs a disciplined investment selection process with tactical overlays that determines whether it will be in a bullish (invested) or defensive position.

The tactical overlays are made up of two triggers. The first trigger tracks exponential moving averages of the stocks in the Fund to identify potentially negative intermediate-term trends. The second is a longer term exponential moving average crossover that more broadly can be indicative of the health of the economy and monitors longer term evolving problems that could lead to bear markets or recessions. Based on the status of each tactical indicator, the Fund could be 100% in equities, 50% in equities/50% defensive, or 100% defensive. When in a defensive position, the Fund will invest in short-term U.S. Treasury ETFs or cash equivalents. When bullish, the Fund allocates equally in up to 50 stocks, diversified amongst a market neutral weight of sectors.

The stocks are selected based on having the highest trailing 12 month risk-adjusted momentum in their sector as well as meeting other quality factors. If stocks fail to meet the momentum and quality requirements in any sector, only the stocks that meet all the requirements will be included, and the remaining allocation is equally divided between the full final list of selected securities. The sectors used are Business Services, Consumer Cyclicals, Consumer Non-Cyclicals, Consumer Services, Energy, Finance, Healthcare, Industrials, Non-Energy Materials, Real Estate, Technology, Telecommunications, and Utilities.

Additionally, when bullish, the Fund rebalances and reconstitutes quarterly to bring the holdings back to an equal weighting.
