“We are very pleased with the performance of the Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund as a strong equity diversifier over the last 3-years as well as year-to-date,” says Michael Krause, CFA, co-founder and co-portfolio manager of Counterpoint Funds.
Developed by Counterpoint Funds, the Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund (CPIEX) launched Nov., 2015, and had $92.9 million in net portfolio assets as of March 31, 2024. CPIEX seeks capital appreciation and capital preservation by investing in a global long-short portfolio, designed to be currency and sector neutral, while using a tactical model to adjust stock market exposure. Employing a long history of empirical evidence and academic research, the Fund leverages advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to dynamically adjust exposure to factors including momentum, value, sentiment, quality, and long-term reversal, during the stock selection process to seek optimal mispricing opportunities. This is used in combination with a tactical overlay of the US Stock Market, which was designed to provide exposure during periods of market appreciation and reduce market exposure during extended market downswings, to provide a low correlation strategy that makes a great equity diversifier for client portfolios.
“The dynamic mispricing strategies utilized by CPIEX are designed to perform well in alignment with long-term data on investor behavior. This is especially true in bear, flat or high-quality bull markets, as this is when the mispricing, or behavioral mistakes investors have made, are historically corrected,” added Mr. Krause.
