Statera is pleased to announce a second series of model portfolios is now available on the Envestnet platform: the Statera Multimanager Strategy. Similarly a long-term, strategic-oriented approach, our “multimanager” strategy is distinct from our existing “multifactor” strategy in that the methodology combines two distinct styles of equity investing: we pair the quantitative, multifactor-oriented strategies we utilize in our existing strategies with more qualitative, moderately more concentrated strategies that implement generally more flexible approaches.

• No changes to our existing investment strategy. We will continue to build our existing Multifactor series exclusively with mutual funds and ETFs from Dimensional Fund Advisors
• The Multimanager strategy mates DFA equity strategies with equity strategies from Capital Group. Capital Group strategies historically have maintained a larger-cap, more Growth-oriented range of exposures
• All equity exposures in the models will be incorporated using ETFs from both managers
• Fixed income exposures in the Multimanager models will broadly match those in our Multifactor strategies

Expanding the Suite

Statera’s Multimanager Strategy combines our two favored investment approaches: we match 1) highly diversified multifactor strategies utilizing equity ETFs from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) that tilt portfolio exposures to equity characteristics collectively shown to have been associated with relative outperformance over time, with 2) strategies implemented within ETFs managed by Capital Group that maintain more concentrated portfolios emphasizing forward-looking expectations for individual stock fundamentals across wider exposure mandates. We will incorporate fixed income exposures into these models in a manner identical to the methodology we utilize in our existing multifactor strategy. The fixed income side of the portfolios will include mutual funds and ETFs.

While we expect eventually to maintain a full suite of models (much as we do for the Statera Multifactor strategy, though likely with fewer stops on the risk spectrum), we have introduced two models at present, distinct by their target exposures to equity:

Statera Multimanager 60/40 Portfolio (weighted average expense ratio of 0.24%, subject to change)
Statera Multimanager 80/20 Portfolio (weighted average expense ratio of 0.28%, subject to change)
