SHELX Investment Objective and Strategy
CLS Shelter Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Advisorone Funds.
Investment objective
The Funds primary investment objective is limiting the impact of large equity market declines.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. Treasury bills, individual equity securities, money market funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), open-end mutual funds and closed-end funds that each invest primarily in equity securities (common stock and securities convertible into common stock). This group of ETFs and funds is referred to as Underlying Funds. Equity securities, whether purchased directly or indirectly through Underlying Funds, are not restricted by issuer capitalization or country. The Funds investment adviser, CLS Investments, LLC (CLS), seeks to achieve the Funds investment objectives by using a variety of strategies. CLS will seek to shelter the Funds portfolio from large equity market declines by investing a portion of the Funds assets for protection in low and minimum volatility equity ETFs, money market funds, and U.S.
Treasury bills. Low and minimum volatility investments are ones that tend not to appreciate or depreciate significantly over short periods of time. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal. CLS will use the following principal investment strategies: ? Using a tactical allocation model to determine what portion of the Funds portfolio should be invested for growth of capital and what portion of the Funds portfolio should be sheltered by investing for protection. ? Investing the protection portion of the Funds portfolio in low and minimum volatility equity ETFs, money market funds, and U.S. Treasury bills in order to reduce the impact of large equity market declines. ? Investing the growth of capital portion of the Funds portfolio in (i) Underlying Funds that seek capital growth or appreciation by investing primarily in common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock (such as convertible preferred stock, convertible debentures or warrants), including the stock of foreign issuers, or (ii) individual securities that may provide capital appreciation.
CLS actively manages the growth of capital portion of the Funds portfolio by increasing or decreasing the Funds investment in particular equity asset classes, sectors, regions and countries, or in a particular security, based on its assessment of the opportunities using fundamental and technical analysis. Allocation of Fund assets between growth of capital and protection is influenced by the current market prices of the Funds investments. As prices decline, the Fund is more likely to invest in assets for protection. Likewise, as prices increase, the Fund is more likely to invest in assets for growth of capital. CLS projects that the Funds risk will be similar to a globally diversified equity portfolio composed of 80% U.S. stocks and 20% international stocks. CLS may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities to achieve the Funds objectives.
The execution of the Funds strategy may involve frequent trading.
