To Help RIAs and Fee-Based Advisors Address Rising Rate Environment
Louisville, KY—November 16, 2015— In response to Registered Investment Advisors’(RIAs) and fee-based advisors’ strong demand for a fixed income solution that can help address a rising rate environment, Jefferson National has added BTS Tactical Fixed Income to Monument Advisor, the industry’s first[i] Flat-Fee[ii] Investment-Only Variable Annuity (IOVA). This unique alternative strategy tactically allocates among different fixed income asset classes. The fund seeks to preserve capital, while offering downside protection and upside potential, and strives to reduce volatility while delivering consistent long-term returns.
“Advisors have serious concerns about the prospect of lower returns for traditional fixed income, as rates are poised to rise from historically low levels. BTS Tactical Fixed income helps address this head on by tactically allocating among different fixed income asset classes, seeking to capture higher returns with less risk than traditional strategies,” said Laurence Greenberg, President of Jefferson National. “For more than a decade, the BTS team has shown a tremendous ability to meet these goals and deliver strong performance in times of rising rates with their tactical strategies.”
A long-term partnership
“We are excited about the opportunity of having our strategy added to Jefferson National Monument Advisor,” said Vilis Pasts, Chairman and Director of Research at BTS. “We look forward to a long-term partnership and helping their advisors during difficult markets.”
