New Year Equals New Market Leaders:  
Year-To-Date:  Last year's losers become this year's winners  

Last year's big story was the U.S. stock market, with gains north of 30%.  Good news was good news and bad news was good news, as the market just kept marching higher.  Neither a spike in bond yields nor a taper in bond purchases by the Fed could deter U.S. stocks from hitting new all-time highs.

Foreign developed markets also had a very strong showing with gains over 20% for 2013, due to surging equity prices in Europe and Japan.

That was last year.  This year is a different story, at least so far.  Across the board, the unloved from last year are this year's darlings as Gold & REITs are off to a very impressive start, with both hitting the double-digit mark in the first two months of this year.  Foreign Bonds, Commodities and U.S. Bonds are also enjoying a bit of a comeback story as well, all hitting at least 2% gains so far in 2014.

 

 

Leadership can change quickly.  Last year's winners may not be this year's.  That's why we recommend tactical strategies that have the ability to move within several markets, trying to take advantage of new trends.  To find out more, please use any of the methods listed below:

Optimus Advisory Group's Mission
Optimus Advisory Group seeks to create liquid alternative and tactical investment strategies that meet the needs of our advisor clients.  We use a disciplined, quantitative methodology to build and manage our portfolios.  Over a full market cycle, these strategies are designed to provide superior risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a low-correlation to traditional market indices. 

Advisors looking for expert advice on how best to utilize alternative and tactical investment strategies in their practice can access our investment consulting and research.  We provide guidance in the following areas:

  • Strategy Integration - Show you how our alternative and tactical strategies can fit into your existing client portfolios to better their risk/reward profile.
  • Asset Allocation Modeling - Create multi-strategy asset allocation models that combine the benefits of traditional core holdings and alternative/tactical strategies.
  • Custom Strategies - Create customized alternative and/or tactical strategies to fit the specific needs of your clientele.

Strategy License Agreement

Advisors wanting to directly manage their own client accounts can access our liquid alternative and tactical strategies through a Strategy License Agreement.  For a monthly fee, we will provide the trade instructions generated by our proprietary mathematical algorithms.

 

Benefits of a Strategy License Agreement

  • Simplicity - Your client accounts can stay where they are.  There is no need to transfer assets to a new platform or custodian.
  • Cost Effective - A Strategy License Agreement is the most cost effective way to access our alternative and tactical strategies.
  • Month to Month - There is no long-term commitment.
  • Control - You maintain complete control over your client accounts.
