Growth Preservation is the foundation of Tango’s investment
strategies, with a continuous track record from actual
discretionary accounts dating back to 1991. This program is
closed to new investors due to trade and size restrictions
placed on the TCM manager from the mutual fund family,
however, key principles of the investment strategy have been
incorporated in the TCM Premium, Momentum and Synthesis
programs.
TCM
strategies use dynamic
asset allocation and technical
market analysis to exchange client assets between various
equity-based mutual funds and money market funds.
The strategies differ in terms of application,
investments used, degree of risk assumed and targeted return.
Dynamic asset allocation, like a “fixed” asset allocation
strategy, seeks to reduce risk through diversification among
different investment categories or asset classes. Using
dynamic asset allocation, however, the investment manager
selects or weights investments based on those categories with
the greatest potential for superior returns, given current
market conditions. The allocation of assets becomes dynamic
— changing in response to market conditions and perceived
opportunities for profit.
Technical
analysis involves charting trends, including numerical
relationships such as price movements, trading volume, sector
momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and the number of
stocks advancing and declining on a specific day. Historical
trends are used to gain insight into possible future price
movements. This approach looks at overall and market segment
moves, rather than individual stocks and differs significantly
from fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis studies any
data that might be expected to impact the price or perceived
value of a stock, other than analyzing the trading patterns of
that stock itself. Fundamental analysis data typically
includes economics, industry trends, and corporate financial
ratios.
With all TCM strategies, money market funds are used as a safe
haven when no clear trend exists and market conditions are
considered too volatile. Positions exposed to the market are
at risk. When the potential for return fails to out-weigh that
risk, we retreat to safety. There will always be another
opportunity to make money as long as capital is preserved.
Past
performance may not be indicative of future results. No
current or prospective client should assume that future
performance of any specific investment, investment strategy
(including the investments and/or investment strategies
recommended and/or purchased by Tango Capital Management) or
product made reference to directly or indirectly by Tango
Capital Management in its web site, or indirectly via a link
to an unaffiliated third-party web site, will be profitable or
equal to prior performance levels.
