ABOUT THIS FUND
The Goaltender ETF (GTND) employs a trend-following methodology, strategically adjusting its U.S. equity exposure based on prevailing market conditions. Its investment strategy is informed by multiple signals linked to six- to ten-month simple moving averages. Initially, the fund's assets are distributed with 60% allocated to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index and the remaining 40% to the Solactive United States Technology 100 Index. Each of these two distinct portfolio segments is independently assessed at the close of every month to determine whether market trends indicate continued strength (a "risk-on" environment) or are beginning to wane (a "risk-off" scenario). During "risk-on" periods, the fund maintains full equity exposure within that particular segment, aiming to capture potential upside during sustained bull markets. Conversely, if "risk-off" conditions are triggered for a segment, that portion of the portfolio transitions to an equal allocation (50/50) between the Solactive 13 Month US T-Bill Index and the Solactive GFS United States Low Volatility Index. This adaptive approach is designed to mitigate drawdowns during bear market phases. GTND's overall allocation is subject to monthly revisions, and the sub-adviser retains the discretion to override "risk-off" signals if they are judged to be false alarms caused by short-term market fluctuations.
