Four Categories. Five Risk Tiers.
One Systematic Framework.

All ACQM model portfolios are built on the same quantitative, regime-aware foundation — organized into four distinct categories to serve the different constraints and objectives advisors actually work with.

Core Strategies

The flagship multi-asset model portfolios. Systematic, regime-aware allocation built for advisors who want a disciplined primary investment process with adaptive risk management at the center.

Compliance-Lite Core Strategies

The same systematic framework as Core, constructed with a streamlined security set to reduce compliance review burden. Purpose-built for advisors operating under tighter product shelf or due-diligence constraints.

Tax-Efficient Strategies

Regime-aware portfolio construction with an explicit after-tax objective. Designed for advisors managing taxable accounts where minimizing realized gains and tax drag is a priority alongside risk management.

ETF Strategies

Systematic, regime-aware model portfolios built entirely with exchange-traded funds. Compatible with advisors who run passive or index-based philosophies and want a risk management overlay without individual securities.

All four categories are available across five risk tiers — Adventurous Growth, Aggressive Growth, Moderate Growth, Conservative Growth, and Preservation Growth — giving advisors the flexibility to match strategy to client mandate rather than forcing a client into a strategy that doesn’t fit.

Built for Regimes. Not Calendars.

Most model portfolios are constructed once and rebalanced periodically — designed for a world where conditions are stable. ACQM models are built on a different premise: that market regimes change materially over time, and a portfolio that ignores those shifts will systematically take on more risk than intended.

  • Regime-aware construction — Allocations are informed by the prevailing macro-market regime, not just long-run return assumptions. When conditions favor risk, portfolios participate. When conditions deteriorate, risk is reduced proactively.
  • Downside minimization as a design principle — Every strategy is built with explicit attention to drawdown reduction. The goal is better risk-adjusted outcomes over a full market cycle, supporting the compounding process and client retention.
  • Systematic, rules-based execution — Portfolio decisions follow a disciplined, repeatable process grounded in quantitative data — removing emotional decision-making and giving advisors a defensible, documentable rationale for every allocation.
  • Multi-asset breadth — Strategies span US equity, international equity, investment-grade and high-yield bonds, gold, and commodities — providing real diversification levers across different regime environments.

These are hedge-fund-inspired strategies designed to capture market upside while actively managing downside risk — enabling advisors to deliver institutional-level investment solutions directly within client accounts.

Built to adapt when markets change, not just when calendars roll over. Flat-fee access. White-labeled. Implemented through your existing custodians. You keep full control.

Five Steps. No New Infrastructure.

Implementation is designed to fit your existing process, not replace it. You don’t need new custodians, new platforms, or new workflows.
