Risk Managed Income Strategy

The Risk Managed Income strategy (RMI) provides tactical fixed income exposure to a spectrum of fixed income categories from high-yield to Money Markets, with six other categories in-between, plus cash. A focus of RMI is to maximize yield in a risk controlled fashion. These categories are selected based on their relative volatility and ranked according to their contribution to yield. RMI is an actively managed fund-of-funds strategy, investing in differing ETF categories.

The RMI strategy was launched in January 2012. Financial advisors, institutional investors and model-portfolio platforms may choose to allocate to the RMI strategy as an alternative to passive, long-only exposure to bond indexes or through mutual funds, ETFs or directly.

LHA has a license from Grimes and Company, Inc. to employ and market the Risk Managed Income Strategy.
