Ultra Series

The investment goal of the Ultra Lite and Ultra Growth Investment Programs is capital growth with reduced risk.

Ultra Lite Investment Program

The Ultra Lite Investment Program seeks to identify opportunities where the short-term direction of the market can be predicted with a high degree of probability and position assets to benefit from the anticipated market direction. This program uses Rydex sector, index and inverse index mutual funds and sub-accounts as well as money market funds in an actively managed, tactical approach. Other mutual fund companies and sub-accounts may be used where appropriate. Ultra Lite may allocate up to 75% of an account’s assets to sector, index, or inverse index mutual funds or sub-accounts on any given day. During periods when market direction is uncertain, up to 100% of the account may be invested in a money market or neutral position. Two-beta (200%) leveraged mutual funds and sub-accounts may be used.

Ultra Growth Investment Program

Like Ultra Lite, the Ultra Growth Investment Program seeks to identify opportunities where the short-term direction of the market can be predicted with a high level of probability. This program uses Rydex sector, index and inverse index mutual funds and sub-accounts as well as money market funds in an actively managed, tactical approach. Ultra Growth, however, may allocate up to 100% of an account’s assets to sector, index or inverse index mutual funds or sub-accounts on any given day. During periods when market direction is uncertain, up to 100% of the account may be invested in a money market position. Two beta (200%) leveraged mutual funds and sub-accounts may be used. The program seeks to control risk by maintaining a neutral and/or money market position until an opportunity exists where potential reward exceeds risk.

Risk Assessment

Risks associated with the Ultra Growth and Ultra Lite Programs include principal risk and market, or systematic risk. While the programs seek to mitigate these risks by using active, tactical allocation approaches, they cannot remove all risk. The programs cannot be considered diversified among all asset classes and utilize leveraged funds and sub-accounts.

Please consult your financial advisor for help deciding which program may be suitable for you.
