Welcome!
SectorSurfer levels the playing field with Wall
Street by putting the power of
award winning
high performance investment algorithms in your hands. Its
True Sector Rotation
algorithm holds only the momentum leader during bull markets, and its
StormGuard
algorithm protects and grows your assets during bear
markets. Only by owning the trend leader and
avoiding the trend laggards can you simultaneously improve returns
and
reduce risk.
Higher Returns:
Returns cannot be improved by diversification
alone. Diversification inherently produces average
results
by owning a bit of everything. To improve
returns, one must own only the trend leader and
avoid the trend laggards. By optimally extracting
trend signals from noisy market data and owning
only the trend leader SectorSurfer can produce
higher returns as shown by example below.

Probability of Loss:
We believe that risk is about losing money,
not about how wiggly the line on the chart
is. We believe that treating both up and
down-moves equally as risk is an error
because only down-moves contribute to
real loss. SectorSurfer's risk measure is
the probability of a 15% loss in a year,
as shown in the example chart below.

True Sector Rotation:
True Sector Rotation is the method of owning the one, and only one,
best trending fund at any time. Since half of the market
sectors will, by definition, be beating the S&P 500 at
any time, owning only the trend leader is an excellent
way to beat the market.
Market data contains trends, and a trend means
that something from the past can tell you something
about the future. Thus, extracting trend signals from
noisy market data is the whole game.
SectorSurfer
extracts trends from noisy market date to
improve your investment batting average.
It works for ETFs, mutual funds and stocks.
StormGuard:
Market storms are much larger than market corrections
and require special detection methods. SectorSurfer's
StormGuard algorithm is designed to find the optimum
balance between reacting too quickly and producing
whipsaw losses, versus reacting too slowly and getting
hurt by the market storm.
StormGuard-Armor is our highest performance market
sentiment indicator. It examines three separate sources
of market data to derive whether the market is safe for
investing. By focusing on Safety First, not only are
losses reduced, but you keep more of your hard earned
returns. StormGuard-Armor is in fact the highest
performance market direction indicator on the market!
There's an Optimum Way to Invest
The layered Portfolio of Strategies structure was developed
to provide the ultimate in risk/return performance during both bull
and bear markets. Risk is not a one-dimensional problem
cured by a single step of diversification. A Portfolio of Strategies utilizes four distinct types of diversification
to overcome the inherent shortcomings
of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT),
Dynamic Asset Allocation (DAA)
and
Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA). A Portfolio of
Strategies includes these four risk-reducing, return-preserving steps:
1. Sector and asset class funds eliminate the risk
of single company failure while still retaining
better return prospects. 2.True Sector Rotation reduces risk by avoiding
trend laggards, and improves returns by selecting
only the trend leader. 3.StormGuard-Armor reduces risk by exiting the
market when its three components indicate that stocks
are no longer safe. 4.Bear Market Strategies
make positive returns more likely during a market
crash, reducing the risk of meeting your objectives.
A Portfolio of Strategies:
Within SectorSurfer, a Portfolio is defined as a collection of
allocation weighted Strategies — meaning that
the Portfolio
owns the selection made by each Strategy on its list in
proportion to the weighting specified. Its underlying Strategies select and own the
current trend leader among its candidate
stocks/funds. SectorSurfer's algorithm optimally
extracts trend signals from noisy market data
utilizing the cross-disciplinary mathematics of electronic signal processing and
matched filter theory,
the same mathematics that enables Ethernet, Wi-Fi,
and smart phones to perform so well.
Importing a Portfolio to your account requires the
steps of (a)
importing each of the underlying Strategies to
your account, and
(b) creating the
Portfolio-of-Strategies manually for your
account — because a Portfolio specifies
the locations (rows) of each of the
underlying Strategies, which will almost certainly
be
different for your account.
