Sierra’s Tactically Managed Strategies
For more than 30 years we have been able to add value for advisors and their clients who appreciate the importance of total returns and mitigating downside risk. We believe in the importance of diversification, a strong defense, and the ability to sequence returns to provide a long distribution phase.
We take the view that we cannot control or manage returns – the stock, bond, currency and commodity markets fluctuate significantly and unpredictably – but we can manage downside risk. And we believe our first priority is to keep our clients out of trouble.
