Funds

The Fund combines four models provided by W.E. Sherman & Co. (The Sherman Sheet) into a single fund in an effort to participate in up trending equity markets and seeking to mitigate risk in down trending equity markets. The Pinnacle Sherman Multi Strategy Core Fund seeks high total return with reasonable risk.

The Breakaway Stocks model is a higher activity model that provides exposure to the top seven ranked stocks in the S&P 500, updated monthly. The top seven ranking is achieved by comparing longer term performance with shorter term performance. The greater the difference, the more a stock is considered to be “breaking away” from the anchoring of its longer-term performance. This ranking is The Sherman Sheet’s exclusive adaptation of moving average distance.

The risk management for this model is comprised of the Bull-Bear Indicator and the BOSS indicator. If both indicators are positive, then the model is invested in the equities mentioned above. If either indicator is negative, then the model is invested in the Calendar Effects model.

When the BOSS indicator is positive this model will be invested in equities. When invested in equities this model uses relative strength to determine equity exposure to various asset classes. As a risk management tool, when the BOSS indicator is negative then this model will be invested in cash and/or cash equivalents.

The Simple Trend and Rank (STAR) Min/Max is a low-activity model designed for risk-managed outperformance over the long term. The model seeks to be maximally (100%) invested in equities when equities are trending upwards, and minimally (0%) invested in equities when equities are trending downwards. The Quarterly Trend Indicator (QTI) is the risk management tool used for this model.

The Short-Term indicator is the risk management tool used for this model. When the Short-Term indicator is positive then this model is invested in equity asset classes and when the Short-Term indicator is negative then this model is invested in cash and/or cash equivalents.
