"The returns of many traditional investments and strategies have been volatile and disappointing for most investors. This survey shows that the advisor community is overwhelmingly embracing tactical strategies to provide investors with a smoother, steadier investment experience," said CMG managing director & head of distribution, Michael Sciortino, Sr.
According to the survey, 87% of advisors believed that a portfolio constructed using both tactical and strategic allocations offers more value than a portfolio that doesn’t invest in both.
"As more investors become familiar and comfortable with tactical strategies we believe the assets will grow dramatically. Advisors are extremely interested in ways of using tactical investments to successfully navigate the challenges of the investment world by utilizing liquid, transparent and cost-effective tools like ETFs and mutual funds," Sciortino added.
