DENVER, Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AthenaInvest, (http://www.athenainvest.com) the leader in Behavioral Portfolio Management, today announced that the Athena Global Tactical ETFs portfolio received a 5-Star Overall rating by Morningstar in the 315-member Tactical Allocation category as of 9/30/18.
Morningstar's 5-Star rating for Athena Global Tactical ETFs has been persistent since the portfolio has been tracked against the Tactical Allocation category, 16 consecutive quarters in total as of 9/30/18. While Morningstar's 5-Star rating is generally assigned to the top 10% of strategies in a given category based on risk-adjusted returns, the Athena Tactical ETFs portfolio has delivered performance ranking in the top 2% of its category for the 1, 3 and 5-year mark as of the close of Q3, 2018.
The portfolio uses a market rotation strategy that invests in major global equity markets to capitalize on market opportunities while also managing significant downside risk. Its unique investment strategy relies on AthenaInvest's patented research which measures macro-level crowd behaviors. These behavioral currents are used to determine the most attractive markets and levels of exposure.
The industry continues to see Morningstar's Tactical Allocation category grow as investors and professional advisors make a portion of their portfolio more responsive to market changes.
"Our strategy aims to identify the most attractive market, internationally or within the U.S. markets to deliver long-term growth," comments C. Thomas Howard, PhD, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of AthenaInvest. "At times, that means riding out volatile markets while you see reactive trading by competitors. Taking no action has worked to our advantage on many occasions."
Dr. Howard is a recognized leader in the application of behavioral finance for investment management and is the architect of the portfolio's unique strategy.
The Athena Global Tactical ETFs portfolio is one of several behavioral strategies managed by AthenaInvest. For more information, please visit http://www.athenaInvest.com or call (877) 430-5675.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
Morningstar Ratings™ are based on risk-adjusted performance as of 9/30/2018. The Morningstar Rating™ for a strategy is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. For each strategy with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a strategy's monthly performance (including the effects of applicable fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of strategies in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.
