Perspective on International Relative Strength Strategies
Why Relative Strength / Technical Analysis
We believe an investor should have a systematic investment strategy in place to capitalize on the opportunities in the financial markets. Relative strength is a technical analysis indicator / investment factor upon which each of our portfolios is built on to offer such an approach to investing.
We rely on relative strength to manage portfolios because of its adaptive nature and its long-term track record. Relative strength is simple in concept, yet powerful in application. Relative strength is simply the comparison of price performance within a universe of securities.
Our strategies can be accessed on the following Managed Account platforms.

Different Portfolios for Different Objectives
Our Relative Strength portfolios offer a systematic approach to investing

-
Core
This Mid and Large Cap U.S. equity strategy seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

ESG Core

Growth
