Tactical Econom ic Overview

Quantitative Model generates signals for an allocation change to equity or fixed income based on prevailing economic cycle and prevailing trend of the equity markets. Model uses top down macroeconomic indicators to assess the current economic environment. Primary goal is to potentially avoid large portfolio drawdowns during bear markets. Secondary goal is to capture the equity risk premium that coincides with the business cycle. Appropriate for investors who desire a level of active risk management. Tactical Economic model is not suitable for short-term time horizons.

• Low internal management fee

Asset allocation and diversification strategies do not assure a profit or protect against a loss. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment strategy will be profitable. Each asset class has inherent risks associated with that asset class. Understanding these risks is critical to making reasonable risk/ return comparisons and sound investment decisions. Each of LCA's strategies may make small-cap and micro-cap investments, which are subject to greater volatility than those in other asset categories. Each of LCA's strategies may invest in fixed-income investments, which are subject to various risks, including changes in interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors. Each of LCA's strategies may make international investments, which are subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuation, confiscatory policy, political instability, or potential illiquidity. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. Inclusion of market index information is for informational purposes only and does not imply that a strategy will achieve similar returns. Index performance does not reflect the deduction of transaction costs, management fees, or other costs which would reduce returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The composition of an index does not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, investment guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which may change over time. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance, and LCA’s strategies, like most investment strategies, involve the risk of loss. Since no one manager is suitable for all types of investors, it is important to review investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax consequences and any other considerations with a financial professional before choosing an investment style or manager. The information contained in this document has been compiled from sources deemed reliable and it is accurate to the best of our knowledge and belief.
