Defensive Portfolios

For investors seeking DOWNSIDE PROTECTION and UPSIDE POTENTIAL

Defensive Alpha Portfolio
The Navellier Defensive Alpha Portfolio (DAP) is for profit-minded investors seeking an investment strategy that has the ability to outperform the S&P 500 in both advancing and declining markets.
DAP utilizes a proprietary algorithmic version of the Fisher Black Model. Its option pricing theories are formulated to optimize returns in up-markets while controlling the downside in falling markets. The strategy does not predict anything nor resort to derivatives, but rather is intended to react quickly and effectively to changing market conditions.
When the S&P 500 Index goes up, the DAP portfolio’s equity position can increase in high Alpha stocks, up to 20 stocks uniquely selected to outperform the S&P 500. When the S&P 500 Index goes down, DAP can quickly react by trimming the portfolio to fewer than 15, 10, or 5 stocks or even at times placing the whole portfolio into cash to be reinvested again at the right time. DAP seeks absolute positive returns.
