Momentum Investment Partners' product offerings include overlay, managed 401k, balanced, defensive equity and core equity. The firm customizes their products to meet individual client objectives using a process that employs quantitative, top-down, macroeconomic models. Their asset allocation model is a carefully calibrated, objective measure of economic factors and market trends. It is based on the fundamental premise that liquidity is the key force in driving stock and bond markets. Momentum Investment Partners' equity portfolios include a mixture of stocks and cash equivalents. They select stocks that demonstrate the ability to grow earnings in the future but are relatively undervalued today. To find these companies, the firm combines computer-driven quantitative research and qualitative research. Stocks are chosen through the equity selection process described above. For bonds, Momentum Investment Partners concentrates on US government and agency issues, avoiding the risks associated with corporate debt. Portfolio managers actively adjust maturity and duration and tailor their holdings using bullet, barbell or ladder strategies, based on current bond market research and analysis. Momentum Investment Partners' sell discipline requires them to sell a stock or bond under the following conditions: (1) asset allocation requires reduced market exposure (2) stock fundamentals or bond relative values deteriorate or (3) the stop-loss point is reached for any given stock.

Abacus FCF uses a proprietary process to help guide investment decisions. Most of their strategies are actively managed and primarily invest in equity securities of US or foreign companies with liquidity and fundamental characteristics that are historically associated with superior long-term performance. They leverage the free cash flow-based FCF Quality Model (FCFQM) to spotlight “quality” companies with the greatest chance of delivering market-beating returns to investors. These companies tend to have very high environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores. The outputs from the FCFQM analysis are used to develop and manage a broad range of investment solutions.
