The CPR Apex portfolios are the flagship portfolios at CPR Investments. These portfolios encapsulate what CPR Investments Inc. was founded on - challenging the Status Quo and providing middle-America (our clients) access to investment strategies that are generally only available to very affluent, wealthy investors. The use of multiple, tactically managed, separately managed account strategies into a single portfolio for our clients is one of many things that differentiates our firm from most other firms. Since tactical money managers are constantly making trades, virtually daily, the Tactical Multi-Strategy portfolios are best suited for tax-sheltered accounts (Trad or Roth IRAs, Solo K's, etc) where the volume of trades is not relevant on tax returns. These portfolios were designed for clients looking for the potential for superior returns and that desire an alternative to 'buy & hold' solutions for their portfolio(s) with the use of multiple tactical strategies for risk mitigation. The use of leverage in these portfolios allows from 1x up to 3x exposure to the major US Indices (Dow 30, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100) in some of the underlying investment strategies while mitigating risk and volatility through the use of multiple tactically managed strategies in each portfolio (from 5 to 20 strategies in each portfolio). Max fee is 1.85% per year, 0.4625% deducted quarterly.

MBA GROWTH STRATEGY
The MBA Growth Strategy is designed for clients looking to mitigate market risk (lower Beta) and seek Alpha with the potential to outperform the S&P 500 Index over full market cycles (typically 3 to 5 years)
MBA DIVIDEND-INCOME STRATEGY
Is designed to be a high quality, high dividend, high dividend growth portfolio with at least the same capital growth opportunity as the S&P 500 ex the dividends. The individual companies in the portfolio are meant to be held long-term so the investor has the opportunity to realize the dividend growth we’ve built in to the portfolio. We use the ETF holding to manage long-term risk by applying MBA risk management signals, trading only the ETF when we have buy and sell signals. We do not trade the individual companies, reducing potential tax consequences of realizing short-and long-term capital gains.
Portfolio construction and mechanics:
40% Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) – a low cost, highly rated (Morningstar) ETF
60% Individual dividend paying companies
Company selection criteria includes:
- current dividend yield at least 50% higher than the S&P 500 dividend yield
- 3-yr dividend growth rate at least equal to the S&P 500 dividend growth rate
- 3-yr relative strength v S&P 500 at least 1.00
- 3-yr Beta generally less than 1
- Strong history of rising dividends
- Industry and sector for diversification
Once we have selected the initial portfolio, our intention is to maintain the holdings long term. Possible reasons for removing a portfolio position include:
- A significant reduction of the current dividend
- A strategic re-allocation to another sector
- Identification of a better overall long-term prospect in the same or very similar sector.
Rebalancing is not automatic or calendar based. Generally, we will consider re-balancing an individual holding once it has grown to 25% above the original allocation.

AXS Dynamic Opportunity - Overview Presentation
AXS Tactical Income - Overview Presentation
Overview:
The AXS Dynamic Opportunity Strategy is designed as a core investment for investors seeking long term capital appreciation with a short term focus on capital preservation. The strategy employs a dynamic strategy, which aims to actively participate during a rising market environment and protect investors when markets experience downturns. The Strategy takes an active management approach staying apprised of individual holdings.
Objective:
To pursue its investment objectives, the STRATEGY invests primarily in domestic equity securities. On an ongoing basis, AXS Investments monitors all stock holdings, closely following corporate fundamentals, price, and volume activity. AXS Investment’s proprietary risk models help to identify timing and magnitude of portfolio hedges, to help mitigate losses during market downturns.
Process:
The STRATEGY screens equity securities of any market capitalization, focusing on fundamental and technical analysis. In addition, proprietary valuation models are used to assist in determining potential stock candidates. The STRATEGY will then select stocks that experience meaningful breakouts as determined by price and volume action. Stop loss rules are used in addition to hedging strategies to minimize loss during market downturns.

Catalyst Alternative/Hedged Strategies
Our alternative/hedged strategies typically seek to add alpha, reduce correlation to the market indexes and reduce downside risk. These strategies tend to fit in as an alternative allocation.
Catalyst Equity-Orientated Strategies
Our equity strategies typically seek to add alpha by implementing distinct investment strategies. These strategies can serve as a core or complement a core equity portfolio.
The Catalyst/Exceed Defined Shield Fund
Seeks to provide a defined outcome, structured return strategy that offers controlled exposure to the S&P 500 Index, providing upside returns to a cap and limiting downside and volatility.
Tail Risk Hedge The Fund seeks to mitigate losses when the S&P 500 declines by more than 12.5%.
Seeks Lower Volatility The Fund seeks to provide returns that are correlated with, but less volatile than, those of the S&P 500 Index and mitigate losses when the S&P 500 declines.
Keeps Focus on the Upside The fund seeks upside participation to a cap. Net results is market exposure without the extreme market ups and downs.
Rational Hedged Return Fund
Important Risk Information Investing in the Fund carries certain risks. The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of an individual security in the Fund’s portfolio. There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. As the buyer of a put option, the Fund assumes the risk of a rise in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option which will cause a loss of the premium paid for the option. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will lose money if the value of the security falls below the strike price. The Fund may experience losses that exceed those experienced by funds that do not use futures contracts, options and hedging strategies.

About Us - Green Alpha InvestmentsGreen Alpha Investments
ESG Guidelines
When discussing sustainability-oriented investing, it’s conventional to talk about environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) rating systems and guidelines.
The opportunity to create high-impact, alpha-generating public equity portfolios exists when the research process is intentionally designed to apply impactful ESG criteria in the appropriate order, and solely to companies providing solutions to system-level risks. Unfortunately, many ESG investing processes merely append ESG variables to the end of an existing process. Green Alpha’s Executive Team members each has firsthand experience at prior firms with the limitations of those methods, so they work together to solve for typical ESG deficiencies by evaluating material variables at every step in the investment process, with the most essential variables evaluated first rather than last.
We avoid calling our approach “ESG” and instead trademarked Investing in the Next Economy to describe to our research methodologies, because we believe that many ESG investment systems miss critical variables and do not appropriately prioritize research processes in the optimal order to result in portfolios that create material impact. However, we strive to operate as transparently as possible and know that some investors want insight into the environmental, social, and governance variables we consider to be material.

Howard Capital Management, Inc. (Howard CM), an SEC – Registered Investment Advisory firm, provides money management services for private clients, brokers, broker dealers and hedge funds.
Offering professional money management since 1999, we believe Howard CM has developed into an experienced money management firm with a proven track record. As we continue to grow, we look forward to using our systematic approach to assist you with your investment goals.
The vision for Howard CM originated during the 1987 stock market crash. With the opinion that incurring financially devastating losses due to market volatility is unnecessary, we initiated a plan to create a company with the main objective to protect capital during market downturns.
After years of research, we developed a disciplined, systematic, and non-emotional method of investing that is designed to protect our clients assets during market declines. In 2000-2002 as the market dropped, we reduced our clients exposure to stocks through our systematic method. In 2008, our proprietary intermediate term indicator, the HCM-BuyLine® again gave us the signal to exit the stock market. Consequently, we moved to the safety of the sidelines during much of the decline.
We assist federal employees and members of the uniformed services by offering an automated, easily accessible online system. The TSP Navigator is on the job 24/7 monitoring your investments, keeping you up to date on market shifts and striving to keep you on the safe side of the market.

iDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Index
A DIGITAL ASSETS PEDIGREE
In the developing world of blockchain technology, we believe that a quantitative, data driven approach is the most prudent way to navigate the evolving landscape.
We approach the digital assets markets through this lens and build robust solutions for the asset class by optimizing for Risk Mitigation, NOT Return Enhancement.
At IDX we are focused on developing the world’s first family of Risk-Managed Digital Assets Solutions that make it simple for fiduciaries and investors to participate in the asset class.
IDX OVER THE YEARS
A brief history of our digital asset experience
-
2011 First Purchased Bitcoin
After two years of due diligence, IDX’s CIO purchased Bitcoin for the first time
-
2013 Launched Bitcoin Nodes
In the summer of 2013 our research team launched two Bitcoin nodes to begin analyzing large datasets in the BTC economy (i.e. on-chain analytics)
-
2019 Began Managing Outside Capital
As career-long Quants we sought to apply our rules-based insights to Bitcoin via the IDX Tactical Bitcoin SMAs and began managing institutional and advisory capital
WHAT IDX BELIEVES IN
Volatility Can Be Favorable, But Not Without Downside Protection
Since Bitcoin’s inception, the growth of the asset class has only been rivaled by that of the internet and the “Dot Com” era. So, why have fiduciaries and professional investors approached the asset class with trepidation? Following our conversations with hundreds of financial advisors, family offices, and institutions, we’ve identified a pattern; downside volatility and principal protection are rarely a focus within the community of early adopters and practitioners.
Simple Access to Digital Assets for Fiduciaries and Wealth Managers
We began managing outside capital in the form of Separately Managed Accounts in 2019 with a dedicated focus on Risk-Mitigation, NOT Return Enhancement. Over time, the regulatory landscape has matured and the instruments available for gaining exposure to the asset class have evolved for the better. From our initial SMAs for fiduciaries, we created Risk-Managed Digital Asset Private Placements for accredited investors and institutions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi. Now, we are proud to bring the first Risk-Focused US Mutual Fund to market, the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (BTIDX).
Constant Education and Research for a Rapidly Evolving Space
Similar to the ‘Internet Boom’ in the late 90s and early 2000s, digital assets have been subject to Moore’s Law, with new developments and improvements in technology (protocols) happening on a daily basis. Our research and investment teams are deeply involved in blockchain technology, evaluating our internally managed data (nodes), auditing the source code (smart contracts) of protocols, and participating in the ‘prudent’ development of the ecosystem. The fiduciaries who partner with IDX are able to benefit from these insights, and intelligently participate in the growth of the industry.
WHY DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO OWN (BTIDX)?
-
The IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (BTIDX) seeks to Harvest the Volatility of the asset class via a rules-based, risk-managed approach to owning CME Bitcoin Futures and publicly traded Bitcoin Industry companies.
-
The IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (BTIDX) seeks to mitigate the risk-of-loss (downside capture) relative to a long-only (passive) exposure to the asset class.

The IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (BTIDX) is a US Mutual Fund regulated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and unlike owning Bitcoin (BTC) directly, the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (BTIDX) can be owned in US brokerage accounts and US retirement accounts held at US custodians.
FREQUENCY OF DRAWDOWNS:
In traditional asset classes a “Bear” market is classically defined as a 20% or greater decline from recent highs amid widespread pessimism and negative sentiment. Many investors are surprised to learn that Bitcoin has commonly exceeded bear market territory, as classically defined, several times per annum since its inception in 2009. In addition to the relative frequency of bear market drawdowns, as compared against traditional asset classes (i.e gold, real estate, stocks and bonds, the severity of drawdown has exceeded 50% and even 80% thresholds several times during its existence.
HOW IT WORKS
The Fund’s manager, IDX, believes that the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy may provide investors with total returns over time, while reducing the volatility and the large drawdowns associated with passively owning CME Bitcoin Futures. Historical volatility is not necessarily indicative of future volatility, and therefore changes in market conditions, and other factors, might result in the actual realized volatility and drawdowns of the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) for any particular period to be materially higher. The return of the Fund for any given period might be materially different than the returns of Bitcoin or CME Bitcoin Futures depending on the allocation decisions made by the Fund’s manager in its efforts to implement the Risk-Managed Strategy.

-Dynamic Growth Strategy Overview
The Strategy uses a proprietary trend-following model to identify and act on prevailing market sentiment. Dynamic Growth rotates between two investment modes: Risk-On when markets are generally trending upward and Risk-Off when the trend reverses.
- Designed for investors who seek equity-like returns but less than half the correlation to equity markets for increased portfolio diversification
-
Signal-based model with weekly cadence, designed to capture advancing market movements
Investment Objective
The Dynamic Growth Strategy is designed to tactically alternate between a Risk-On state in response to advancing equity markets and a Risk-Off state during times of market weakness. The Strategy is designed for investors who seek equity-like returns but wish to reduce the volatility and drawdown that comes with passive investment in equities.
-Managed Income Strategy Overview
- Quantitative model seeks to determine the overall buy / sell bias by looking at a variety of bond and equity data inputs on a daily basis
- Quantitative process is designed to help reduce discretionary biases when determining the best opportunities to allocate into higher yielding securities
- Constantly monitors the efficiency and effectiveness of the model in response to changing economic and market environments
Investment Objective
The Managed Income Strategy strives to provide investors with the potential to generate stable, above average total returns, with low drawdown.

Model Capital Management ADV Part II Brochure
Our investment philosophy
- Focusing on asset allocation – the primary source of risk and return relative to market index
- Systematic, model-driven investment process – asset class allocations are determined based on our model’s return forecasts
- Managing downside risk – portfolios include tactical component designed to reduce the risk of significant downside
Our forward-looking approach to asset allocation
- We allocate to asset class(es) with the best expected risk/return combination, primarily by investing in liquid, low-cost index ETFs.
- Allocations are determined based on mid-term expected returns (for strategic) and short-term return forecasts (for tactical allocations). Over 20 fundamental factors are utilized in the models.
- This systematic, model-driven tactical investment process minimizes subjectivity
Investment performance is direct result of how successful our forecasting is. Learn more about our investment strategies.

Ocean Park - Conservative Allocation Sequence of Returns
Outcomes Delivered by Discipline
Since 1988, Ocean Park’s goals have been to help retirees and other conservative investors limit downside risk and grow their wealth. Through the years, Ocean Park has remained committed to a truly tactical, quantitative, rules-based investment approach with the objectives of limiting downside risk and producing returns that a conservative investor would deem satisfying. Using decades of strategic research and our rules-based disciplines, we strive to help advisors and their clients meet their investment goals.
Our Disciplined Process:
When to Buy – Quantitative, Rules-based
Our truly tactical rules-based investment disciplines only buy when our decision rules show an uptrend has begun or is in progress. We don’t just look at share prices, but use exponential moving averages to help drive our decisions.
- We buy only when our decision rules show an uptrend has begun or is in progress.
- Once a given asset class | sector begins an uptrend that is adequate to generate a “Buy” signal under our proprietary discipline, we analyze all mutual funds and ETFs in that asset class | sector to determine which to buy.
- “Buy” signals are quantitative – and the discipline is the contrary of our trailing stops for “Sell” signals.
We use an extra moving average for a Buy, because we want more evidence that a new uptrend may have started for us to put money into risk, than to take money out of risk (Sell signal).
What to Buy – The Most Complex Question
- As part of our risk-mitigation discipline, we give preference to asset classes/sectors with low volatility. Our trailing stop bands will be tighter thus when the trend reverses from up to down, we give back less.
- When there are multiple asset classes/sectors in uptrend, preference is given to those that are not highly correlated to each other, or the overall portfolio.
When to Sell – Quantitative, Rules-based
We treat a Sell signal as a mandate (we sell to prevent any possibility of further damage to the account). A “Sell” signal occurs when the price rises below the recent high of the lower band.
- We monitor and review our trailing-stop-loss discipline daily for every holding.
- When the price of a holding declines below the trailing-stop (lower band), we sell, and move temporarily to cash.
- Our trailing-stops are completely quantitative and are proportionate to the historic volatility of each asset class/sector.
- Our stop-loss discipline limits the impact of any sustained decline on the overall portfolio.

INVESTMENT APPROACH
The Fund seeks Capital Appreciation
The Fund's goal is to collect small amounts of premium each week by selling put options on the S&P 500 (SPX) that have a one week time frame to expiration.
Seeking to limit risk, the Fund will purchase a put option on the same S&P 500 (SPX) contract with the same terms other than the strike price.
The Fund's goal is to deliver compelling, non-correlated absolute returns.

Probabilities 2023 ADV Part 2A
The Probabilities Strategies are based on underlying seasonal and technical factors derived from analyzing the historical return series of market indices.
Factors determined to have the most significance are utilized to generate buy and sell signals, which the Manager then utilizes to implement discretionary trades. Like all equity investments, the strategy will experience volatility that may be magnified during the period the Manager has implemented a leveraged position.
Probabilities’ flagship strategy seeks capital appreciation by systematically investing to gain long, short, or leveraged exposure to U.S. equity markets through Index ETFs. The strategy emphasizes risk management in an attempt to limit loss by using disciplined, rules-based methods.
*The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged composite of 500 large capitalization companies. This index is widely used by professional investors as a performance benchmark for large-cap stocks. You cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Put the balance into CD’s or any number of other fixed income instruments that could offset the costs of the options. In this manner, it is possible to greatly reduce the risks of stock ownership, earn extra interest and still participate in the entire upside of the stock or stock fund through the options.

CPR INVESTMENTS NATIONWIDE MULTI-INDEX PLUS PORTFOLIOS
$15,000 Minimum
The Multi-Index Plus portfolios are ideal for both tax-sheltered accounts (Trad or Roth IRAs, Solo K's, etc) or taxable accounts (although there is no tax-harvesting like is done in the Strategic Portfolios). These portfolios were designed for clients that desire a lower-cost, 'buy & hold' solution for their portfolio(s) with minimal tactical money management. The use of leverage in these portfolios allows from 0.25x up to 1.5x exposure to the major US Indices (Dow 30, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100) while still being able to moderate volatility through the use of alternative investments such as commodities, currencies, gold, digital assets and futures.
