Endowment Strategy

Description:

The Marvin & Palmer Endowment Strategy is implemented for investors on a separate account basis. The portfolio is split between U.S.-listed securities and cash depending on the manager’s market view. The strategy is employed relative to a benchmark (60% S&P 500/40% cash) and, generally, can range from 20% invested to 80% invested. This mechanism allows the strategy to be more aggressive or defensive depending on real-time developments in the global equity markets and the manager’s assessment of these developments.
