Sierra Mutual Funds Introduces Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 30 Fund

New Fund Latest to Apply Flexible Equity Exposure to Sierra’s Tactical Approach

Santa Monica, Calif. (October 2022) – Sierra Mutual Funds, Inc., a leader in tactical asset management, today announced the launch of the Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 30 Fund (SRTJX), a mutual fund that targets an average equity exposure of 15% ̶ 30% over a three-year period. The new fund will utilize Sierra's distinctive tactical investment approach to achieve its objectives of providing total return while limiting volatility and downside risk. Its introduction follows last year's launch of the Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 50 Fund (SRFJX), which targets an average equity between 30% and 50% over a three-year period.

"This latest addition to our suite of fund offerings provides another multi-asset solution for investors with a conservative risk profile to access Sierra's time-tested, truly tactical investment process," said James St. Aubin, Chief Investment Officer. "The Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 30 Fund, like the Tactical Risk Spectrum 50 Fund, will follow our proprietary trailing-stop discipline. This discipline generates Sell signals when a holding enters a downtrend, with the goal of mitigating downside risk while targeting a lower level of equity exposure over the longer term."

"The markets are as volatile as ever, and investors are looking for investment approaches that remain disciplined but provide the ability to participate in the market's upside," added David C. Wright, co-founder of Sierra.
The Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 30 Fund seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing in a combination of unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) for exposure to multiple underlying instruments, including:

  • U.S. common stocks
  • Foreign common stocks, including from emerging markets
  • U.S. fixed income securities
  • Foreign fixed income securities, including from emerging markets
  • High yield corporate bonds
  • Preferred stock
  • Municipal bonds
  • Physical commodities (through mutual funds and ETFs that invest in commodity-linked derivatives)

The Sierra Tactical Risk Spectrum 30 Fund will be managed by Sierra Co-founder Kenneth L. Sleeper, MBA, PhD, as well as Sierra Executive Vice President of Investment Management Douglas Loeffler and Senior Research Analyst Marshall Quan. Sierra will construct the Fund's portfolio by quantitatively analyzing all underlying Funds to identify those that exhibit the most attractive positive trends and have been given a "Buy" signal under the firm's proprietary investment process. As with every investment, each holding will be monitored daily, and each has its own "Sell" signal. The fund may temporarily be 100% in cash on occasions when all holdings hit Sell signals.

Underlying Funds may invest in foreign emerging market countries that may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems, which do not protect investors. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. Any strategy that includes inverse securities could cause the Fund to suffer significant losses. Underlying Fund investments in lower quality bonds, known as high-yield or junk bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that legislature changes and economic developments may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments. REIT risks include declines from deteriorating economic conditions, changes in property value, and defaults by borrower. Underlying Funds that own small and mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In some instances, it may be less expensive for an investor to invest in the Underlying Funds directly.
