All Asset

A family of risk-based models that brings Main's best ideas together in a single solution. The process selects from a wide array of asset classes, pairs Main's strategies with third-party ETFs, and scales the mix across five risk profiles.

How it's built

Each model pairs Main's strategies, held through their ETFs, with third-party ETFs. The risk profile sets the proportions, and the process that sets the mix has two steps.

Equity

  • Active Sector Rotation
  • International
  • Thematic Innovation
  • Third-party equity ETFs

Blend

  • BuyWrite

Sits between equity and fixed income, and is counted as a blend of the two.

Fixed income

  • Third-party fixed income

Alternatives

Included in some models, where appropriate.

What the models are built from. Main's strategies are in bold; third-party ETFs fill the rest of each sleeve.
  1. Set the split between equity, fixed income and alternatives

    The first decision is the allocation across the three buckets, based on the current market outlook and macroeconomic factors.

  2. Choose the exposures within each bucket

    Equity
    U.S. and international exposure; sector, size and style; country and region
    Fixed income
    Credit and duration
    Alternatives
    The relative level of exposure

Five risk profiles

The advisor selects the profile that fits the client. Each profile uses the same building blocks in different proportions.

  • Conservative

    May be appropriate for clients with less tolerance for volatility.

  • Balanced

    May be appropriate for clients with some tolerance for volatility.

  • Growth

    May be appropriate for clients with elevated tolerance for volatility.

  • Dynamic

    While the benchmark is 70 / 30, the model can be flexibly positioned based on changing market environments.

  • Aggressive

    May be appropriate for clients with significant tolerance for volatility.

Bars show each profile's target risk benchmark, a mix of the MSCI ACWI Index and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index. They are not the models' holdings.

Where it fits

All Asset is designed for advisors who want one model family across conservative through aggressive mandates.
