“With 18 consecutive quarters of 5-Star Overall ratings as of first-quarter close, and with consistent top-decile rankings, our behavioral approach has made its mark in the tactical space,” commented C. Thomas Howard, PhD, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of AthenaInvest.
Long-term returns for the Athena Global Tactical ETFs portfolio are nearly double the Tactical Allocation category averages. In addition, the portfolio has outpaced its MSCI ACWI benchmark for 1, 3 and 5 years and since inception.
The Athena Global Tactical ETFs portfolio aims to deliver long-term capital growth and is designed to enhance returns by making portfolios more responsive to market changes.
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 with its ability to move to cash. Its unique investment strategy relies on AthenaInvest’s patented research which measures macro-level crowd behaviors. These behavioral currents are used to determine the best markets and levels of exposure.
“We believe in the long-term benefits of equities and take a high-conviction approach to tactical investing. We identify and then are fully invested in what we believe to be the most attractive markets at any given point in time,” added Dr. Howard when asked about their success. “Unlike other tactical managers, we don’t invest in many different asset classes with small percentages.”
Dr. Howard is a recognized leader in the application of behavioral finance for investment management and is the architect of the portfolio’s unique behavioral 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 12/31/2018. 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.
