Model Selection Process Details
The Donoghue Forlines Risk Managed Income tracks a proprietary model identified in the Fund’s prospectus. It is a rules-based strategy that employs tactical overlays driven by multiple technical signals to determine whether the Fund will be in a bullish or defensive posture.
The Fund uses a short-term and an intermediate-term tactical overlay to determine whether to be in a bullish or defensive posture. Each tactical overlay will trigger 50% of the Fund into a defensive position, should market conditions warrant. When in a defensive position, the Fund will be invested in short-term U.S. Treasury ETFs.
When bullish, the Fund will direct investments into a selection of Floating Rate and High Yield mutual funds and ETFs. Additionally, when in a bullish posture, the Fund will rebalance holdings and reconstitute annually.
