In the early 90's, our founders confirmed their belief that a passive asset allocation strategy—which is static, by definition—couldn't possibly cope with the market's constant fluctuations.

That's why we collect and evaluate market data, and perform our proprietary quantitative analysis of that information, every day.

Through this unique methodology, we gauge the overall health of the market and identify areas that are performing well on a risk-adjusted basis.

Then, we actively position assets to take advantage of those positive-trending themes with the best risk/reward relationships.

What happens in a down market?

Equally important is our ability to recognize when a theme is deteriorating. In adverse market conditions, or in the absence of a prevailing theme, our conservative strategies will take a defensive or cash position.

To minimize risk within aggressive strategies, we will rotate out of a weakening theme into a sector or theme that is showing greater relative strength.

By seeking to avoid catastrophic loss and taking advantage of thematic opportunities as they present themselves, we strive to position investors for the greatest opportunity for long-term success.

What are our goals on your behalf?

Our goals are clear: First, we seek to provide you with 75% to 85% of the value of an upsurge in the market; and second, to "cut off the bottom" during a downturn, so that we can keep any losses recoverable within the Niemann strategy you've chosen.
