The Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 50 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of funds. Ocean Park Asset Management, LLC (the Adviser) seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective by investing in a combination of unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), (collectively, Underlying Funds).
Among the types of underlying instruments in which this Fund will invest, through Underlying Funds, are the following:
● | U.S. common stocks |
● | Foreign common stocks, including from emerging markets |
● | U.S. fixed income securities |
● | Foreign fixed income securities, including from emerging markets |
● | High yield (or junk) corporate bonds |
● | Preferred stock |
● | Municipal bonds |
● | Physical commodities, such as crude oil, copper and wheat, through mutual funds and ETFs that invest in commodity-linked derivatives |
Under normal market conditions, the Funds target exposure over a three-year period to equity securities, of any market capitalization, through the Underlying Funds will average between 30%-50% of the Funds assets. The Fund does not have a target allocation for non-equity securities exposure and may invest in underlying fixed income funds without constraint as to maturity or credit quality. The Adviser may make changes in the target allocations across asset classes and fund categories, and the specific Underlying Funds in the Funds portfolio that in its view would be in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund considers high-yield corporate bonds (junk bonds) to be those that are rated lower than Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poors Rating Group (S&P).
The Adviser constructs the Funds portfolio by quantitatively analyzing all Underlying Funds to identify those that exhibit the most attractive positive trends and have been given a buy signal under the Advisers proprietary investment process.
The Adviser does not employ a passive buy and hold, strategy. As part of its integrated risk-management disciplines, the Adviser monitors each Fund holding daily and applies a trailing stop discipline (a form of sell signal) to each Underlying Fund in the Funds portfolio. The Adviser employs a trailing stop discipline which adjusts the sell signal level as the price of a holding rises and is calculated as a percentage or dollar amount below the market price. When the price of a holding decreases by a certain percentage or dollar amount, the Adviser sells the holding in an attempt to protect profits and minimize further impact on the portfolio. A trailing stop discipline is a type of loss calculation managed by the Adviser that rises each day as the price of the underlying security rises, and thus trails the price movement. When any Underlying Fund declines in price enough to generate a Sell signal the Adviser either sells the Underlying Fund or hedges by purchasing an inverse Underlying Fund.
The buy and sell disciplines are not designed to attempt to buy at lows or to sell at highs, but to seek to participate in a substantial part of any sustained uptrend in a selected asset class, as well as to step aside during most of any sustained downtrend. The Adviser employs a reactive approach, meaning it reacts with discipline to actual reversals in price trends, as distinct from a predictive approach to market movements.
The Adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of portfolio securities to achieve the Funds investment objectives.
