"The number one ranking for ten-year returns is very important to AthenaInvest because it highlights the portfolio's performance over a wide range of market conditions," commented C. Thomas Howard, PhD, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of AthenaInvest. "Our unique market barometer, which measures macro-level crowd behaviors, has provided a reliable signal for our market rotation strategy, and has benefited many advisors and their clients."

The portfolio has a global tactical mandate with a market rotation strategy that attempts to identify and invest in the most attractive developed global equity markets. It aims to optimize the upside capture of market performance while also managing risk.
"Closing out the ten-year period during the challenging markets of 2020 certainly raised the bar, but now we've seen the portfolio deliver very well through a full market cycle," added Dr. Howard. "We believe this is a testament to our patented behavioral research which powers the portfolio."

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
Morningstar Ratings™ are based on risk-adjusted performance as of 12/31/2020. 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.
