01 / The objectiveA clear job
A clear job
for the portfolio.
Pursue long-term capital growth through domestic equity ETFs, dynamically adjusting exposures in response to observed volatility and market regimes within the strategy’s established investment framework.
What defines the approach
- A growth objective expressed through domestic equity ETFs.
- Allocation decisions respond to volatility and market-regime indicators rather than forecasts of market turning points.
- Intelligent Allocation® governs positioning within established exposure limits using systematic, mathematical rules—not AI.
The objective is a goal, not an assurance of an outcome.
02 / Client fit & portfolio role
Start with the right fit.
Potential use cases for discussion. Suitability depends on the complete client situation, liquidity needs, and broader investment plan.
A growth sleeve within the wider plan
Consider alongside the client’s other equity holdings and investments. Assess whether the strategy adds a deliberate growth role or increases exposures the client already holds.
Systematic management of equity positioning
For clients who prefer a repeatable allocation framework that responds to volatility and market regimes, and who can accept that positioning may differ from a continuously invested equity index.
Less appropriate when
The client needs capital stability, relies on this allocation for near-term spending, or expects the strategy to avoid equity declines or capture every rally.
Key considerations
Risk-managed describes the decision framework, not a conservative risk classification. Growth equities can experience substantial declines, and ETF exposures may overlap or concentrate in particular sectors. Signals can lag a market change, and allocation adjustments may miss a rebound.
03 / Portfolio constructionA defined universe.
A defined universe.
A dynamic allocation.
The strategy rotates among eligible domestic equity growth ETFs. Intelligent Allocation® responds to volatility and market-regime indicators, changing exposures within the approved investment universe and limits. It adapts the growth allocation rather than maintaining a permanent allocation to each eligible ETF.
The investment framework
Define the boundaries.
The selected strategy establishes an eligible ETF universe and exposure limits. Any customization is agreed with FINIAT before the revised portfolio is implemented.
The management
Let the process allocate.
Intelligent Allocation® is not AI-driven. Its proprietary algorithms react to observed market indicators and govern allocations within the established boundaries.

Discuss implementation ↗
View platform & trading availability ↗Combined equity exposure
Review overlapping funds, individual stocks, concentrated positions, and growth-oriented exposures across the client’s accounts.
Sector concentration and staying power
Assess how a growth orientation and potential sector concentration fit the whole portfolio. Discuss the client’s ability to remain with the strategy through substantial equity declines.
Investment framework and implementation
Confirm the eligible universe, exposure limits, liquidity needs, expenses, trading arrangements, and tax implications. Establish where this allocation fits before considering customization.
The advisor’s questions
Clarity before allocation.
What is the strategy seeking to accomplish?
It pursues growth through domestic equity ETFs, using a proprietary algorithmic rotation process that responds to volatility and market regimes. Risk management is part of the approach, but neither growth nor protection from losses is assured.
Does risk-managed mean the portfolio is conservative?
No. The strategy retains a domestic equity growth objective and can experience substantial volatility and losses. The term describes how positioning decisions are governed, not a guarantee of capital stability.
Does the strategy predict market turning points?
No. Intelligent Allocation® responds to observed indicators within an established framework. A change in positioning reflects the process rather than a discretionary prediction of the next market move.
Is it the same as holding a broad equity index?
No. Its growth orientation, eligible ETF universe, and changing allocations can create different exposures from a broad equity index. Review overlap and concentration in the context of the full client portfolio.
Will it participate in every rally?
That should not be assumed. Signals can lag, and changes in positioning may miss part of a rally or recovery. Clients should understand this trade-off before selecting a systematically managed allocation.
Where might it fit in a client portfolio?
Consider a domestic equity growth role for clients who can tolerate substantial equity risk and have liquidity needs covered elsewhere. The role and allocation depend on the client’s broader objectives and existing exposures.
Do I approve each allocation change?
Once the ETF universe and exposure limits are established, Intelligent Allocation® governs allocations within those boundaries. Routine allocation decisions do not require the advisor to select or approve each position change. Confirm the account’s trading and implementation arrangements with FINIAT.
Can FINIAT adapt a portfolio for my client or practice?
Start with a pre-built strategy or discuss a customized portfolio with FINIAT. A different ETF universe or set of exposure limits can change the portfolio’s exposures and risks; confirm the resulting investment framework before implementation.
