Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd. (FPI) is a leading provider of dynamic, risk-managed investment solutions for the separately managed account business. This week, FPI has been named a finalist for SMArtX's "Strategist of the Year" award for its QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends investment strategy.
Based on more than 20 years of experience creating multi-strategy portfolios, FPI has found that combining actively managed strategies can provide additional layers of portfolio defense and return potential. The last few years have shown that it's important for investment strategies to be dynamic and flexible. QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends was designed for those reasons.
QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends is a turnkey strategy of strategies that blends FPI's Quantified Fee Credit (QFC) non-core equity strategies to produce satellite or "explore" portfolios designed to be diversified, durable and robust. The strategy employs three levels of risk and opportunity management: (1) the management used within the Quantified Funds, (2) the movement among the funds required by the strategies themselves, and (3) the allocation employed between the strategies.
QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends is designed for investors seeking (1) a dynamically risk-managed blend of tactical equity strategies, (2) the ability to go defensive, and (3) equity-like growth potential.
"We are honored to be named as a finalist for SMArtX's 'Strategist of the Year' award for our QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends strategy. QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends was able to take advantage of the opportunities in the market last year while mitigating risk," says Jerry Wagner, president and founder of Flexible Plan Investments. "I encourage advisers to consider the low-cost options that we offer in our turnkey, dynamically risk-managed multi-strategy core and explore offerings when crafting their clients' investment portfolios at SMArtX."
QFC Multi-Strategy Explore: Equity Trends was selected as a finalist out of nearly 1,000 strategies on the SMArtX UMA platform. Strategies were scored on a weighted, quantitative system for the period ending December 31, 2021.
