Many investors believe the buy-and-hold approach is the only way to realize long-term portfolio success. Unfortunately, as investor risk tolerance changes, declining markets often leads to buying and selling at the absolute wrong time.
A tactical strategy requires the elimination of emotions and bias from the decision-making process. The BTS quantitative model removes emotion seeking to identify trends and participate in 80% of the up while avoiding 80% of the down associated with a full market cycle.
We believe that the best way to realize consistent returns over time is to avoid losses of principal during the inevitable periods of decline that all markets experience.
Growth comes from the absence of loss. Major short-term losses take a big toll on investor portfolios making it necessary for investments to work harder just to recover.

At any one time, a BTS tactical portfolio can be fully invested in the market in an attempt to take advantage of market growth, or 100% in cash to guard against potential market declines. We watch the markets so that investors don't have to.
