Frequently Asked Questions

Why Consider Professional Money Management?

…because you receive dedicated portfolio management for your investments through changing market conditions.

Explosive growth in investment products, coupled with increasing market complexities, can make navigating today’s dynamic and demanding investment landscape a full time job. One way to respond to this and position your investments for changing market conditions is to employ the services of a full-time, professional money manager for your accounts.

Why Asset Class Rotation?

…because it is responsive as market conditions change.

While you will find diversification and rebalancing in practically any asset allocation program you are assessing, many programs lose sight of the fact that changing market conditions may warrant changes to the portfolio allocation. Instead of ignoring market dynamics, Absolute Capital sees them as a way to add value in the portfolio management process. By employing an “asset class rotation” strategy, our programs use proprietary analytics to be responsive to changing market conditions. This dynamic allocation technique intends to analyze the markets and position investments for the current landscape by positioning the portfolio with over- and under-weighted positions based on our market analytics.

Do you “household” accounts for calculating fee breakpoints?

What if I decide to cancel?

You can cancel management at any time by notifying Absolute Capital. Within thirty days written notice, your account will be terminated and you will receive a pro-rata refund of any unearned advisory fees. More information is included in Absolute Capital’s Client Agreement.

How do I get started?

Your financial representative will provide you with a folder that includes program brochures, disclosure documents and the Client Agreement for your review and signature – as well as any other necessary paperwork such as transfer forms or custody forms. Investment advisory services begin on the date that the account is accepted by Absolute Capital and initially allocated into the management positions. You will receive a letter from us which indicates the date on which management services started. This is your notice that management services have begun. Until you receive this notice, you should not assume that management has begun. Clients and/or their financial representative may contact Absolute Capital at any time to inquire on the status of their account. Absolute Capital is not responsible for performance prior to our acceptance and establishment of investment advisory services.
