WMA Strategies within Segregated Managed Accounts
We are pleased to announce a solution for individual investors and RIAs seeking actively managed, non-benchmarked investment strategies. We have made our personal Dynamic Global Rotation (DGR) strategy and Quantitative Equity Selection (QES) strategy portfolios are available on the popular Interactive Brokers (IB) and Folio investment platforms. Investors from almost any country can access directly our strategy portfolios, via individual, segregated clients accounts at our partner brokerages.
For interested investors, this structure offers several important advantages.
- Client money remains in the client’s personal account. No commingling of your money. For U.S. investors using Interactive Brokers, IB’s depository bank is Citibank New York. For European investors, client funds are held at Citibank London or Frankfurt.
- Unlike typical high-end wealth management firms who impose a minimum investment of $250,000, WMA accepts accounts of any size.
- Extremely cost-efficient investment solution:
- No heavy fund expense ratios to finance
- No costs to set-up, nor to maintain an account at IB*
- No Front-End fees
- No Back-end fees
- No 12b-1 fees
- No performance fees for any investor type (qualified or non-qualified)
- 1.15% to 1.65% simple annual management fee for our actively managed strategies†

- Access to our investment strategies which follow our proprietary allocation methodology.
- Free access to all our allocation models, market indicators, Daily Updates, and Weekly Newsletter**.
