PTS adheres to a disciplined, proactive asset allocation approach. Our signal is a proprietary, two-stage model uniting both technical and fundamental analysis. Technically we identify several components including, but not limited to, the items listed below. Our models are designed to filter out "market static," take advantage of long-term up-markets, and help to protect from long-term down markets. We continually gather, analyze and monitor economic and market data. This helps to assist in determining the macro, overall strength or weakness of the market. Based on this data, the models are designed to identify the early stages of a bear or a bull market. Accounts are automatically allocated to the asset class identified as having the most opportunity.
