Tactical Growth Tactical Growth is a disciplined, quantitative investment strategy. It is designed to participate in up markets and protect in down markets. The investment universe consists of ETF s that comprise the 6 general investment categories: domestic equity, international equity, fixed income, commodity, currency and cash equivalents. A relative strength overlay is employed to determine the two strongest investment categories to focus investment positions on. It is designed for clients with a long-term investment time horizon who want less volatility and less downside risk. Tactical Income Tactical Income is a dynamic, income oriented strategy which incorporates both quantitative and fundamental investment methodologies. The strategy uses exchange traded funds, closed end funds, stocks and bonds with above average cash flow as a primary objective and long term appreciation as a secondary objective. All potential candidates for this portfolio are first screened on a fundamental basis, then on a technical basis and finally measured by peer relative strength. It is designed for investors with long-term time horizons who want cash flow and moderate growth. Dividend Growth Dividend Growth is a fundamental investment strategy for long term appreciation. The discipline screens domestic companies that demonstrate good earnings momentum, positive history of increasing cash dividends and competitive advantage to their business model. The portfolio is then analyzed for peer relative strength and each position is equally weighted. Focus Growth A long-term growth strategy focused on capital appreciation. The portfolio adheres to a flexible investment mandate that allows tactical allocation shifts between stocks and cash. The discipline screens companies with superior earnings momentum and share price appreciation and follows rules for both buying and selling. 8 MORGAN STANLEY
