Tactical Strategies That Work  

 
 
2016 was a banner year for Optimus Advisory Group! Our Equity, Fixed Income, and Alternative tactical strategies provided strong returns with minimal volatility.

2016's Highlights

EQUITY STRATEGIES

Our two equity-based tactical strategies, Dynamic Equity and Equity Rotation, beat the S&P 500 and crushed the tactical benchmark.

LONG / SHORT

Hedged Equity and Global Long/Short beat their long/short benchmarks. In fact, Hedged Equity posted returns that surpassed the S&P 500 while maintaining a maximum equity exposure of only 66%.

FIXED INCOME

Our most popular strategy, Tactical High Yield, had another strong year, handily beating its relevant benchmarks, while our core bond strategy, Bond Rotation, weathered the rising interest rate environment to top its benchmark.

INVERSE

Finally, our tactical inverse strategy Global Advantage All Asset did it again. It generated positive returns in an equity bull market. As far as we know, it is the only inverse strategy to do so repeatedly. The strategy turned in an impressive +4.13% net result, even while the S&P 500 went up nearly 12%! This from a strategy that tactically uses inverse funds only. Of note, that +4.13% return for 2016 compares to -8.9% and -21.11% for its two benchmarks.

If your tactical money manager was flat to down in 2016, now is the time to consider making a change.
