THE STRATEGY
Introducing a New
All-Weather Solution
What Is an All-Weather Strategy?
An All-Weather strategy holds different asset classes, each of which can perform relatively well during different economic environments. The funds, sub-advised by GBW, are actively managed alternative funds that seek to enhance the assets which are expected to perform best in the current environment and use macro-hedging to manage excess volatility in the market.
These are a new generation of All-Weather funds. Our dynamic asset allocation model creates an active, more tactical and flexible strategy to take advantage of changing global macro trends.
The purchase of equity put options is designed to safeguard core equity growth while offering increased protection from extreme market losses.

WHAT IS GOAL-BASED INVESTING?
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." — Henry Ford
Goal-based investing (GBI) is a relatively new approach to wealth management that targets specific financial life goals with a defined purpose.
Wealth is better defined and understood through your ability to meet your financial goals.
GBW advised funds are constructed within a wealth allocation framework that is highly diversified. The funds are designed to align with basic investor goals that aim to protect purchasing power, maintain a living standard and enhance lifestyle.
