San Diego, California-January 23, 2022- Counterpoint Funds, a quantitative mutual fund and ETF provider specializing in defensive diversifier strategies, today announced that the Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund (CPIEX) posted continued strong performance in 2022, with a percentile rank of 8 out of 197 funds in the long-short fund category based on risk- adjusted returns ending December 30, 2022 by Morningstar Inc., a leading provider of independent investment research.
Growth of $100 – 01/01/2021 to 12/31/2022

“We are very pleased with the performance of the Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund as an equity diversifier in 2022,” 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 $84.4 million in net portfolio assets as of Dec. 31, 2022. Using a factor-based market neutral and trend-following strategy, Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund seeks to invest in individual stocks that have exposure to multiple equity factors, while using a tactical overlay to dynamically adjust portfolio risk. Employing a long history of empirical evidence and academic research, the Fund leverages a global long-short portfolio, which is currency and sector neutral, to target mispricing opportunities in the market. This is used in combination with a tactical overlay of the S&P 500, which was designed to increase beta exposure during periods of market appreciation and reduce market beta during extended market downswings, to provide a low correlation strategy that makes a great equity diversifier for client portfolios.
“Mispricing strategies utilized by CPIEX are designed to perform in all market environments except those where unprofitable and speculative companies outperform profitable ones. 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. “We would like to thank the clients who showed confidence in our strategy from the very beginning.” For more information on the Tactical Equity Fund please visit cpfunds.com/cpiex
