Why Sector Allocation

We believe that sector allocation, not style or country allocation, is the dominant source of influence on the performance of a portfolio. Sectors are truly unique and independent parts of the economy, and each sector acts differently to a given set of circumstances. We offer investment portfolios in Select Sector SPDR® ETFs such as energy, utility, financial, health care, consumer, technology and real estate sectors.

What we do

UCWM offers Prime Intelligent Portfolios which is a discretionary investment advisory services through its Wrap Fee Program.

We offer seven asset allocation portfolios: From Conservative, Moderate to Growth. Your account portfolio asset allocation will depend on the time that you initial invest. Your portfolio asset allocation will vary and will depend on the Investment Advisor Representative’s decision (IAR). The asset allocation portfolios may not have the same sector allocations and percentages.

Depending upon market conditions, an investor may not always maintain the allocation noted in their portfolio of choice. IAR may allocate 100% of the money into a fixed income fund or cash. And, may have different equity holdings than what is stated.

How we do it

The Equity portion of the portfolio is invested in an eleven sectors of the S&P 500 Index and professionally managed by an Investment Advisor Representative. Depending on when you begin your investment plan, you may not have all eleven sectors invested in your portfolio. The proportion of funds invested in each Sector ETF may vary based on the IAR’s discretion.

To ensure diversification, we select eleven sectors of ETFs that invest in large capitalized and well-established companies who drive their revenues from worldwide sales and operations. These may include the following ETF’s: Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financial, Real Estate, Health Care, Industrial, Material, Technology, Utilities and Communication Services. The Fixed Income portion of the portfolio is invested in the fixed income ETFs.

Downside Protection Strategy

To help reduce the risk of market downside losses, we have implemented a sell trigger signal based on our technical analysis of the eleven sectors.

The above chart illustrates a broad look at the performance of the S&P 500® price index over the last two decades. This roller coaster indexed behavior demonstrates the volatility and unpredictability of the market.

Depending on the evaluation of all the sell trigger signal factors, a sell transaction may or may not take place. The sell decision will be made by the Investment Advisor Representative discretion.

Re-purchase of any Sector ETF will be based on our technical analysis of the eleven sectors. Your portfolio may be re-balanced in order to help control risk and enhance returns based on the IAR’s discretion.
