Active: US Large Cap Sector Rotation

Main Management was founded on the philosophy that sectors are a more efficient way to own equities than single stocks. Accordingly the strategy uses a disciplined investment process to rank and select market sectors that are trading below their historical averages on an absolute and relative basis. The firm also believes that undervalued sectors typically revert to their mean when the appropriate catalyst is present. A sector will be sold when its price target is achieved The strategy derives excess returns from the correct overweight and underweight of sectors relative to the S&P 500 benchmark. The portfolio is implemented using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). This strategy is GIPS verified by Ashland Partners. Inception: September 2002.

Buy-Write: Global Low Volatility Equity Income

The strategy aims to outperform the MSCI All Country World Index over a full market cycle with one third less volatility. The long term target goal is to generate 4-6% collective income per annum from option premiums and dividends. In addition the strategy makes intra-year tactical changes to the underlying equities subject to market conditions. This strategy is GIPS verified by Ashland Partners. Inception: September 2004.

The strategy operates within band of plus/minus 40 percent net long/short on ongoing basis and may opportunistically employ leverage.
