Enhanced Dynamic Moderate Active Fund Introduction
The Enhanced Dynamic Moderate Active Fund is a domestic equity fund employing independent active managers, strategically allocated according to Enhanced Dynamic®, a patented and award-winning equity methodology, within a prudent investment fund structure.
Enhanced Dynamic® is a quantitative equity allocation methodology that was developed to produce higher domestic equity portfolio returns while reducing portfolio volatility. The methodology identifies the current dominant equity style and cap size, indicating to strategically tilt the portfolio to the most productive asset class, while reducing the out-of-favor style and cap size asset classes.
The Enhanced Dynamic Moderate Active Fund integrates and employs two proprietary strategies that both involve the Enhanced Dynamic® methodology:
- Apply Enhanced Dynamic® in a top-down manner to strategically establish over- and under-weightings of domestic, style adherent equity managers.
- A bottom-up manager selection process using proven, style adherent, active equity managers—in tandem with the Enhanced Dynamic® methodology.
Enhanced Dynamic® will dynamically guide the over-weighting of in-favor, active U.S. equity managers, as well as to under-weight the opposing out-of-favor and under-performing active managers, and has provided superior on-going sustainable risk-adjusted returns. Equity portfolios are to remain fully invested at all times.
We prefer using active, style adherent, domestic equity managers over index funds due to the fact that active managers will generate significantly higher risk-adjusted returns when their style is in-favor, net of all fees and expenses, versus comparable benchmarks and alternative index vehicles over full market cycles. We evaluate and select style adherent active equity managers when performance records equal or exceed their appropriate style benchmarks when their style is in-favor, according to our proprietary Enhanced Dynamic® methodology.
Enhanced Dynamic® IS NOT A CONCEPT STRATEGY and has been used with institutional investment funds for over 25 years, and is being developed into the Enhanced Dynamic Moderate Active Fund. The Enhanced Dynamic® methodology has earned considerable recognition, such as letters of verification and validation from both the Center for Research in Security Pricing (CRSP) and the Master of Science Program in Financial Mathematics (MSFM) at the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business, as well as being the winner of the 2018 “Smart Beta Strategy” award by AsianInvestor Magazine.
