Strategas Macro Momentum ETF

SAMM Description SAMM seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by holding a narrow portfolio of US-listed equities, including common stocks, REITs, MLPs, ADRs, BDCs, and shares of ETFs and closed-end funds. The fund adviser incorporates a proprietary macro, technical, and behavioral inputs in the portfolio selection process. The fund will buy, hold, and sell securities based on a trend-following investment approach that relies on technical signals (price characteristics and momentum inputs). Momentum inputs include recent absolute and relative rates of change, new highs/lows, moving average crosses, and technical studies like RSI and MACD. The fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. In adverse market conditions, as determined by technical signals, the fund will shift its investments to more defensive alternatives such as treasury ETFs, gold ETPs, or cash.
