Tactical ESG Disclosure

Important Disclosures

Composite Disclosure (For Model Performance Disclosure, Please Scroll Down)

Past performance does not guarantee future results. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Changes in investment strategies and economic conditions, as well as contributions or withdrawals, can materially change how your portfolio will perform. Different types of investments involve higher and lower levels of risk.

Historical performance returns for investment indexes do not deduct transaction and/or custodial charges or an advisory fee, which would decrease historical performance results. There are no guarantees that a portfolio will match or outperform a specific benchmark.

Specific securities identified and described do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients, and may not reflect any restriction a client may have placed on a portfolio.

Performance results displayed are derived from a composite of similarly managed portfolios. Individual portfolio returns are calculated quarterly using an approximated time-weighted rate of return. Composite returns are then calculated quarterly using asset-weighting portfolio returns based on market values at the beginning of the period measured. Where applicable, portfolio characteristics are shown gross of fees.

Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. All returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Net performance results have been reduced by actual management fees. In the event that all accounts in a composite are non-fee-paying during a given quarter, iCM will apply the firm’s stated maximum fee (2.00%) to calculate net-of-fees returns.

This composite includes all discretionary fee and non-fee-paying accounts that qualify as discretionary AUM and excludes record kept assets such as 401k plans. Accounts will be included during their first full performance period after complying with composite rules. Terminated portfolios will remain in their respective composites for the dates which they were in compliance with composite procedures. An account will change composites when the client directs a mandate change. 

The composite excludes portfolios where any client directed action causes a gross quarterly performance deviation from the asset-weighted composite average of greater than 1.00%, including but not limited to; Tax loss harvesting, accounts with specific cash needs, timing delays caused by extraneous factors, accounts with external cash flows, and accounts with restricted trading instructions.

Client portfolios included in each composite are based on client’s stated investment mandate and not on actual asset class weightings within each client’s portfolio.

In-line with iCM’s overall investment philosophy, the Tactical ESG portfolios are designed to tilt portfolio allocations to potentially undervalued asset classes, utilizing unaffiliated ESG-focused mutual funds and ETFs. iCM does not directly screen for or implement ESG criteria among individual securities. Rather iCM screens for outside mutual funds and ETFs, as defined by Morningstar Inc. to be “socially conscious”. iCM reserves the right to utilize a service other than Morningstar, Inc. at any time. While each ETF or fund will undergo a thorough review, iCM does not directly control the execution and ultimate implementation of stated ESG criteria, and therefore cannot make assurances that these practices will be followed. 

Following ESG criteria does not imply any guarantee of gain, prevention of loss, out performance, or under performance. It is iCM’s expectation that the returns of these portfolios will be primarily driven by iCM’s global tactical asset allocation process, which seeks to overweight assets that appear undervalued, while subsequently underweighting those that appear overvalued. It is not iCM’s belief that investing in ESG-focused mutual funds and ETFs alone will add incremental return to a portfolio. Buying ESG-focused investment strategies does not guarantee a gain nor does it protect an investor from a loss of principal.

All investing involves the assumption of risk and the possible loss of principal. The main risks as it pertains to this strategy are US equity risk, international equity and fixed-income market risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. While attempting to achieve the objectives of the strategy, you will be exposed to the risk of loss from these sources along with others yet to be identified.

Indexes are unmanaged indexes that cannot be purchased or sold. Unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. Index returns shown may not represent the results of the actual trading of investable assets.

The Financial Professional must have the ability to make a reasonable judgment about the investment objectives and financial situation of the investor.

Return data is presented both gross of advisory fees and net of iCM’s management fee on Envestnet and similar platforms (.16% annually). Return data is shown net of the underlying funds’ operating expenses. Returns do not include investment platform fees. Investment advisory fees may also apply and are not included. Consult the Form ADV of each entity for additional fee information. The returns will be reduced by the addition of platform and advisory fees. Where applicable, portfolio characteristics are shown gross of fees.

Model results are defined as performance results that were not actually achieved by any portfolio of the investment adviser. Model results have inherent limitations and do not represent trading of actual client assets, but are for illustrative purposes and reflect actual positions, weights, and trade-date accounting. Returns are calculated quarterly using asset-weighted portfolio returns based on market values at the beginning of the period measured. This may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on investment decision-making if actual client funds were being managed. Performance results for clients that are invested in the strategy may vary from model performance due to market conditions and other factors, including investment cash flows, frequency and precision of rebalancing, tax-management strategies, cash balances, advisory and other fees, and/or the timing of fee deductions, all of which may have reduced the returns shown. iCM’s Model returns are independently audited on an annual basis and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance does not include taxes payable on dividends and interest.

Alternate securities can be the addition or removal of securities otherwise included in a strategy. Correspondingly, the use of alternate securities may cause account performance to be higher or lower than stated. Specific securities identified and described do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients, and may not reflect any restriction a client may have placed on a portfolio.
