Below is a list of portfolio models that we manage on behalf of individual clients.  Each model is distinctly unique.  All clients, except for special situations more typically found in high-net-worth client accounts, follow one or more of these model portfolios.

How it Works: While each client account can have a different starting value (net asset value), all clients, regardless of NAV pay exactly the same price per share for each share purchased and gets exactly the same price per share for each share sold in the course of managing the model portfolios.

This is done via a block-trading program available to Turner Capital via TD Ameritrade and Schwab.  When a trade is entered, the only variable among all clients in a given model portfolio will be the number of shares since the number of shares is determined by the percent of portfolio being allocated to a trade and the net asset value of the client's account.

This way, all clients get the same percentage of capital allocated toward any equity holding, but the total shares per client for each holding will vary greatly depending on the net total amount of the capital following each model portfolio.

Our annual management fee is 1.5% for all models except our Laddered Fixed Income strategy which is fixed at 0.8%.  1/12th of the management fee is deducted from client accounts, monthly.

Our minimum account size is $100,000.

Objective: The Tactical Growth model is designed to grow capital via the technical trading of the 1x SPY and QQQ in bullish trends and the 1x SH and PSQ in bearish trends.​

Investment Style: The TG model tends to be 100% invested when our proprietary algorithms provide a buy signal.  When these algorithms signal a sell signal, the portfolio will remain in cash until the next buy signal is triggered.

Management Style: Turner Capital Trend-Trading Rules.

Objective: The Turner Quant Advantage model is designed to grow capital via the technical trading of the 2x SSO and QLD in bullish trends and the 2x SDS and QID in bearish trends.

Investment Style: The TQA model tends to be 100% invested when our proprietary algorithms provide a buy signal.  When these algorithms signal a sell signal, the portfolio will remain in cash until the next buy signal is triggered.

Objective: The Diversified Income model is one of our more conservative trading strategies. The goal of this model is to generate a minimum income of 12% per holding per year by holding equities that pay a minimum of approximately 3% in dividend income and sell 6 to 8 covered call contracts (approximately one contract every 4 to 6 weeks) at approximately 1.5% premium income per contract.

Types of Holdings: Equities with a dividend yield of at least 3% and covered call options sufficient to generate 8% or more in premium income per year.

Investment Style: The DI model tends to be 100% invested most of the time, but can hold cash at any time as a 'staging' area until the portfolio manager decides to invest the cash.

Management Style: Very Active Covered Call Investing.

Objective: The Laddered Fixed Income model is designed to generate income from CDs and US Treasuries via interest payments at then going rates while not exposing capital to equity market risks.

Types of Holdings: US government-backed Certificates of Deposit and US Treasury Bills, and cash.

Investment Style: 

  • We put clients into government-backed Treasury bills or FDIC-insured CDs, if the rates are higher, in "laddered" tranches (or buckets). "Laddered", in this case, simply means a predefined percentage of capital that matures each month. 

  • We typically use 6 tranches (buckets of capital). 

  • When the strategy first starts (day one), we put 1/6th of client capital to work in a 30-day investment, 1/6th into a 60-day investment and so on, until all 6 tranches are invested. 

  • Each month, a tranche of client capital matures and is available in cash. At that time, we put that tranche of capital into the next 6-month investment. 

  • Each month, the client has full access to 1/6th of their capital without any early withdrawal penalties.

  • With interest rates expected to rise in future, reinvesting monthly gives the client the ability to capture those higher rates.

  • In all cases, the CDs or Treasury bills are insured by the US government. Clients have zero risk of principal loss.

Management Style: Very Active, rolling investments in interest bearing government backed CDs and T-Bills.
