The IRON Incertus Portfolio offers an actively managed diversified asset-class exposure to global equities, fixed income, and commodities. The portfolio objective is to outperform a moderate target risk index, while delivering lower drawdown.
Performance results are based on a composite consisting of eligible accounts. Performance results from inception of February 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020 are of a single account owned and managed by a related person of IRON under the supervision of IRON’s Chief Investment Officer. A second account owned by a related person of IRON was added on May 1, 2020. Unrelated client accounts are included in the composite beginning September 1, 2020. Inclusion of an account within the composite is determined on a monthly basis, requires investment in the IRON Incertus Portfolio for the entire calendar month, and a beginning monthly balance of at least $100,000. Performance for periods longer than a year has been annualized using a geometric mean. Actual performance of client portfolios may differ materially due to the timing of investment of capital, the reinvestment of dividends, length of time various positions are held, client objectives and restrictions, and fees and expenses incurred by the individual portfolio.
For time periods between February 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021, management fees of 0.70% annually, our highest published fee during that period, have been deducted from gross performance results for the IRON Incertus Portfolio. From January 1, 2022 onward, management fees of 0.59% annually are deducted from gross performance results. Client accounts are charged quarterly in arrears based on the quarter-end value adjusted for capital flows. Net returns reflect a monthly accrued deduction of management fees. IRON’s fees are available upon request and may be found in our Form ADV Part 2A disclosure brochure.
IRON has designated the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk TR USD Index as the portfolio’s benchmark. The Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index seeks approximately 60% exposure to global equity markets, with the remaining exposure allocated to bond and inflation-hedged instruments.
The S&P 500 Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index of 500 of the largest publicly traded companies listed on US stock exchanges. The S&P 500 Total Return Index is cited for comparison purposes because we feel it is more well understood by investors than a blended benchmark and would therefore better allow investors to compare and contrast various characteristics, such as volatility measures. Index returns do not reflect the deduction of advisory fees. You cannot invest directly in an index.
