mainmgtetfs.com is where the funds’ details, holdings, and documents stay current. It opens in a new tab, so this page stays where it is.
Carefully consider each fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information is in the fund’s prospectus, available on the fund site; please read it carefully before investing. The Main Management ETFs are distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, Member FINRA/SIPC.
Valuation discipline sets the entry. An observable catalyst shapes the timing. The same two questions have governed every Main Management position since 2002.
Valuation tells us where to look, and a catalyst tells us when to act. The first sets the entry and the second shapes the timing.
Illustrative example. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The same philosophy underpins Main’s strategy lineup, model portfolios, and advisor partnerships.
Main Management was founded in 2002 as an early adopter of building active, transparent portfolios with ETFs — long before that approach was common. We’re partner-owned and independent, with no outside parent steering the research, and the same investment team runs every vehicle: the Main ETFs, model portfolios on the major platforms, and directly managed accounts for private clients and institutions.
i.
Partner-owned & independent
The firm has no outside owners, so the investment view answers only to the committee.
ii.
Refined through cycles
More than twenty years of refining the same process.
iii.
Major platform availability
Live on the platforms advisors actually use — LPL, Orion, Envestnet, GWN, Altruist, and more.
iv.
Active since 2002
The team you talk to today is the team running the portfolios.
We monitor more than 450 macro, fundamental, and sentiment indicators, refreshed daily, across the asset classes we invest in. We look for conclusions that several independent indicators support.
i.
The math of the position — what we are paying, what we are getting, how the trend is moving.
ii.
The forces that move markets between asset classes — rates, growth, policy, the dollar.
iii.
What the market is doing — positioning, breadth, flows, the things that move before fundamentals do.
Walk through the current portfolio positioning, the two questions behind each weight, or how the framework would sit alongside what you already run.
