Octavia currently offers one Market Index portfolio and three Active portfolios.

Market Index Portfolio

The Market Index Portfolio strategy (“Market Index”) endeavors to generate investment returns via principal appreciation and income.  Market Index invests in a diversified portfolio of equities and fixed income primarily via index exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).

Market Index's investment objective is to track the broad market in equities and fixed income via low-cost ETFs.  Market Index invests in ETFs that track US, international developed market and emerging market equity indices, as well as ETFs that track US, international developed market and emerging market fixed income indices.  All clients investing in Market Index will hold the same securities but client weightings between equities and fixed income will vary based on their specific financial objectives.  Periodically, Octavia will rebalance the ETF holdings to match client profiles or due to relative changes in the values of the ETFs.

Market Index does not seek to generate excess returns but instead seeks to track the broad global equity and fixed income markets.  Index ETFs are subject to overall market risks.  As with any security, risk is present in that past performance by no means guarantees future results.

Active Index Portfolio

The Active Index Portfolio strategy (“Active Index”) endeavors to generate investment returns via principal appreciation and income.  Active Index invests in a diversified portfolio of equities and fixed income via ETFs (or via mutual funds when an ETF does not exist to invest in a certain equity or fixed income asset class).

Active Index's investment ideas derive from macro economic research, as well as industry fundamental research, all of which inform investment theses on various global asset classes.  Active Index may invest in ETFs that track broad US equity indices (such as but not limited to the S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000), as well as sub-sectors of such equity indices.  Active Index may also invest in ETFs that track various US fixed income indices (such as but not limited to US corporate investment grade, US corporate high yield, US municipal bonds, US preferred stocks and US government debt).  Active Index may invest in international developed market and emerging market equity and fixed income ETFs that track comparable indices.

Active Index seeks to generate excess returns by varying the weightings of its holdings relative to index benchmarks.  The primary risk assumed with this strategy is that Active Index over-weights under-performing indices and under-weights out-performing indices.  Also, index ETFs are highly susceptible to overall market risks.  As with any security, risk is present in that past performance by no means guarantees future results.

Active Income Portfolio

The Active Income Portfolio strategy (“Income”) invests in high-yielding securities, principally utilizing interval funds, ETFs, mutual funds, closed-end funds (“CEFs”) and business development companies (“BDCs”). Income endeavors to generate investment returns via interest and dividends. Typically, the interval funds, CEFs, ETFs mutual funds and BDCs will invest in non-investment grade securities and may utilize leverage to further increase distribution yields.

Income's investment process relies heavily on macro economic research and the resulting direction of interest rates and credit conditions, research on investor sentiment and the direction of funds flows, and the specific investment composition within the various interval funds, CEFs, ETFs, mutual funds and BDCs

Due to the non-investment-grade nature of the underlying securities, the use of leverage and the high exposure to short-term and long-term interest rates, Income’s security holdings are typically significantly more volatile and riskier than typical bond investments and should not be considered a “safe” investment. As with any security, risk is present in that past performance by no means guarantees future results.

Active Unconstrained Portfolio

The Active Unconstrained Portfolio strategy (“Unconstrained”) includes securities held in the Active Index and Active Income portfolios, as well as select securities not held within these portfolios.  Weightings between Active Index, Active Income and select other securities are based on Octavia’s opinion regarding which portfolios and securities hold the best risk-adjusted return potential.  Securities held that are not included in Active Index or Active Income typically include individual company stocks or bonds.

Unconstrained invests in equities, fixed income and currencies. Unconstrained also considers principal preservation. If Octavia believes there is risk of material market or sector declines, Octavia may tactically move a portion of the Unconstrained portfolio into cash.  This action may result in portfolio under-performance in a rising market environment, but reduces the risk of principal loss.

Unconstrained's investment ideas derive from macro economic research, as well as industry and security-specific fundamental research, all of which inform investment theses on various global asset classes, industry sectors, and individual companies. From time to time, Unconstrained will invest in options to derive income from long positions and as a risk-management tool.  As with any security, risk is present in that past performance by no means guarantees future results.
