AthenaInvest Global Tactical ETFs Receives 5-Star Morningstar Rating
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 21, 2018 -- 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. The Morningstar rating is based on risk-adjusted returns as of December 31, 2017 among 270 funds in the tactical allocation category from Morningstar, Inc., a leading provider of independent investment research.
The portfolio employs a market rotation strategy driven by AthenaInvest’s patented research measuring macro-level crowd behaviors and invests in US small-cap, US large-cap or international developed equities. The strategy is used by advisors to systematically deliver a tactical tilt, making their overall portfolio allocation more responsive to market conditions.
“Market exposure and stock picking strategies can both generate excess returns but typically do well in different environments,” comments C. Thomas Howard, PhD, CEO and Director of Research at AthenaInvest. “In response to this, a growing number of Financial Advisors are combining stock picking skill with tactical management to create dynamic portfolios that benefit from both approaches.”
AthenaInvest believes that unique opportunities in broad markets are driven by macro-level crowd behavior. By analyzing those behaviors, they identify deep behavioral currents that are driving market returns. These behavioral currents create signals that are used to determine the best markets and levels of exposure.
“The Athena Global Tactical ETFs portfolio received Morningstar’s 5-star rating for 1, 3 and 5-year performance as of 12-31-17, in a growing tactical allocation category,” comments Howard. “Those ratings show the consistency and effectiveness of our behavioral tactical approach in a variety of market conditions.”
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 12/31/2017. 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.
