Our Solutions
smarttactical™ Strategies
The goal of our smarttactical™ Strategies is to enable a client’s overall portfolio to be more adaptive to changing market environments. These strategies have the ability to invest in any exchange-traded asset class and are not restricted by market cap, sector, or geographic location. They may also hold a substantial fixed income or cash position based upon our macrocast™ and microcast™ risk indicators.
macrocast™ Strategies
Our macrocast™ risk model examines data across 6 categories (the “VITALS“) that we believe impact broad market conditions. Within the VITALS we examine more than 20 specific indicators that drive the macrocast™ Score. These indicators are then assessed and classified as signaling a positive (+1), neutral (0), or negative (-1) trend. The final macrocast™ Score is the result of the summation of the classified indicators.
Opportunity MX Strategy
Investment Objective
The Corbett Road Opportunity Strategy is a tactical solution that seeks long-term growth of capital and attempts to mitigate drawdowns during economic downturns by reducing the strategy’s equity exposure.
Investment Strategy
This strategy targets between 35-40 individual equity positions, though it may invest in ETFs or other exchange-traded assets when needed. It can invest in any exchange-traded asset class and is not restricted by market cap, sector, or geographic location. Based upon macrocast™ indicators, this strategy may hold a substantial fixed income or cash position as broader macroeconomic conditions deteriorate and are deemed unfavorable.
The Opportunity Strategy takes a dual-pronged approach to research and investment. The top-down macro analysis is driven by Corbett Road’s proprietary risk model, macrocast™, which determines the strategy’s equity allocation based on prevailing economic conditions. A deeper assessment of the market cycle drives equity positioning, and individual investments are selected using a bottom-up, fundamental approach. Through our dual approach, economic events are recognized for their potential to affect overall market returns while a deeper analysis of individual investments aims to incrementally add to potential returns.
- Summary:
- Invests primarily in individual equities and occasionally ETF’s
- Top-down, macrocast™ driven equity allocation and bottom-up investment selection
- Unconstrained investment selection—this strategy can invest in any exchange-traded asset class, market cap, and geographic location
- Quantitative risk management at the security level seeks to mitigate excess losses on any individual investment

The Dynamic ETF Strategy is a flexible ETF strategy that takes a top-down approach to investing.

Intra-cycle analysis drives individual investments. Certain styles, factors, and industries outperform at different stages of the market cycle, and Dynamic ETF seeks to capitalize on these trends by making active sector bets and concentrated satellite investments in factor and industry-focused ETFs.

microcast™ Strategies

Buffered Outcome Solutions
Buffered Outcome Strategies provide a solution to investors that find experiencing losses to be more difficult than missing out on potential gains. These strategies are designed to offer a different approach to risk management by enabling investors to participate in the growth potential of equity markets up to a stated cap, with a specific downside buffer. This approach is cost effective and liquid when compared to products such as annuities which can offer a client similar upside and downside scenarios.
Investing in the market with a built-in-buffer can be powerful. Without a buffer, if a portfolio declines, it subsequently needs to gain more than it lost to get back to even. However, a portfolio with a buffer (i.e., 10% or 25%) needs far less of a gain to get back to even after experiencing loss.
