Strategy overview

Core Market & Factor Tilt

A Large-Cap Anchored US Equity Strategy with Quality, Minimum-Volatility & Small-Cap Value Tilts

01

Overview

Investor Profile

For investors who want core, near-market US equity exposure with a meaningfully smoother ride than a plain index fund. Positioned as a core long-term holding for most investors with a 5+ year horizon.

Strategy

The strategy pairs a low-cost S&P 500 core with a dedicated large-cap quality sleeve, then layers in mid-cap quality, minimum-volatility, and small-cap value positions — designed to track close to the broad market while trimming some of its rough edges.

key considerations

01 Downside Protection

Designed to move nearly in line with the broad market — it softens a downturn modestly rather than avoiding one.

02 Style Cyclicality

The quality and minimum-volatility tilts can lag during sharp, early-cycle rallies led by higher-beta stocks; they're built to pay off over a full market cycle.

03 Diversification

Roughly 80% of the portfolio sits within the large-cap universe, so diversification comes more from style than from breadth.
