Growth is a moderately aggressive core portfolio type designed to target above-average returns without using leverage or short selling.  Normally Growth will have 100% market exposure to stocks though the asset allocation will change depending on the health of the market as well as near term market dynamics reflected by proprietary indicators. 

Growth primarily utilizes ETFs that are passive market indexes but may also use actively managed ETFs, individual stocks, and funds particularly for sector exposure. Growth may draw from the full universe of available asset class options including all sector, alternative asset and country funds.  The Growth core portfolio type includes GuardRail Technology for risk management control in extended market downturns. It can be utilized as a 100% of an investor's portfolio for those who want the opportunity for above-average returns and are willing to accept greater price volatility and the potential of loss associated with ownership of 100% equities.  There is, of course, no assurance given that aoove-average returns will occur or that any risk management device employed will be successful.
