Why Invest in DWUS?
  • Alpha-Seeking Complement to Broad Based Exposure – Broad based indexes, by their nature, have the good and the bad, the strong and the weak. DWUS seeks to add alpha using Dorsey Wright’s historically successful trend following process and investment modeling that looks to identify the strongest U.S. large cap equity investments from the weaker performers.
  • Active Management Advantage – Many ETFs passively invest owning the majority of the stocks represented in their benchmark index, including those with less than attractive investing attributes. DWUS’s investment process systematically screens the FSM U.S. Core large cap equity universe for investments to include or remove from its highly tactical, active portfolio.
  • U.S. Core Equity Rotation – Owning or even avoiding certain large cap investing styles – equal weight, Nasdaq 100, low volatility, momentum, broad based – is an important determinant of domestic core equity success. Investment styles rotate in and out of season. Sometimes those trends last for years, other times for months. By investing in the highest FSM ranked funds, DWUS seeks to capture the growth of those large cap equity styles demonstrating the strongest relative strength while avoiding the weakest.
  • Systematic Defense – Because we believe avoiding severe losses helps to preserve capital and can contribute to good performance over time, DWUS uses a rules-based approach to tactically add cash or short-term fixed income exposure to the portfolio when momentum indicators are triggered. The temporary defensive position is to try to shield the portfolio from certain catastrophic market types.
Where Can DWUS Fit in a Traditional Portfolio?

DWUS can serve as an alpha-seeking complement to a broad-based market cap weighted position, such as a fund that tracks the S&P 500 Index, as well as, a stand-alone investment solution for domestic large cap equity exposure.

Key Attributes
  • Targeted High Conviction Large Cap Exposure – By tactically allocating to the top ranked large cap equity funds based on Dorsey Wright’s FSM ranking and modeling DWUS seeks to identify and benefit from factor or market based themes within the core U.S. market.. The Fund Score Method (FSM) framework is designed to provide an objective, rules-based approach that has the ability to rotate between a lineup of ETFs using the Nasdaq Dorsey Wright fund score system. Every ETF on the Nasdaq Dorsey Wright research platform has a fund score ranging from 0 (weak) to 6 (strong). These scores are derived using three main areas of evaluation: trend analysis, market relative strength, and peer relative strength. DWUS will regularly rebalance on an equal weight basis into the most favorably identified funds within FSM U.S. Core investment universe.
  • Relative Strength Analysis – DWUS invests using relative strength, via FSM rankings, which compares price performance within a universe of stocks. Relative strength investing provides a repeatable process to identify and select the leaders while avoiding the laggards. It is important to be equally good at identifying both long-term winners and losers.
  • Systematic Approach – DWUS’s investment strategy is entirely systematic and is designed to remove human emotion from the decision process. It is a disciplined, repeatable process to systematically identify and select which funds to own, as well as, which to avoid or sell, giving the portfolio manager the ability to continually execute DWUS’s investment strategy through all types of different market environments.
  • Tactical Defensive Investing– When the market is demonstrating overall weakness, DWUS will gradually allocate to cash or short term fixed income. This cash allocation will incrementally increase or decrease based on whether the momentum indicator is showing overall market strength or weakness versus cash.

The Advisor’s judgment about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these factors may affect the return on your investment. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual issuers, industries or the securities market as a whole. The market value of debt securities held by the Fund typically changes as interest rates change, as demand for the instruments changes, and as actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer changes.

Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined) and do not represent the return you would receive if you traded at other times.
