Beacon Capital Management Launches Beacon Tactical Risk (BTR) ETF Based on its Flagship Portfolio

The fund is designed to deliver in today's volatile market conditions, working to capture gains while limiting losses through a mechanical stop-loss measure

DAYTON, Ohio, April 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Beacon Capital Management (www.BeaconInvesting.com), a registered investment adviser (RIA) firm that seeks to offer long-term investors innovative portfolio management solutions, announces the launch of its new exchange-traded fund (ETF), Beacon Tactical Risk (BTR), trading on the New York Stock Exchange Arca. With the launch of this ETF, Beacon Capital Management makes its popular investment philosophy accessible to a broad market of investors, working to capture gains while limiting losses in order to deliver consistent returns in today's volatile market conditions. The first day of trading is set for April 18, 2023.

BTR uses an equal sector allocation across 11 sectors as a first line of defense and a mechanical stop-loss as a secondary defense to limit losses before they become too catastrophic. When the stop-loss is triggered, equity positions are sold, and portfolio assets are repositioned into fixed income. The BTR fund has been designed to deliver on its core objective in both bear and bull market conditions.

"We are thrilled to bring our award-winning investment management approach to more investors through this new ETF," said Chris Cook, president and Chief Investment Officer of Beacon Capital Management. "In today's environment where persistent market volatility is now the norm, sharp declines in daily market value are not only more frequent*, but more concentrated as well as powerful. After experiencing a catastrophic loss to their portfolio value, the average investor simply does not have the time often required just to get back to where they started. This is why we designed our investment strategy to have mechanical stop-loss measures—to limit losses before they become too catastrophic."

At the core of Beacon Capital Management's investment philosophy are several key fundamental principles, including the belief that investing is a science, not a state of mind. As a research-driven RIA that prioritizes discipline, reactions to changing markets occur only when the firm's predetermined rules dictate. Utilizing a proprietary index, the Vantage 2.0 Benchmark Index, Beacon's team determines when traditional diversification may not be enough to protect investors from persistent market downturns. This approach automatically withdraws investors' funds from equity positions to provide a safety valve helping minimize losses during volatile market periods.

Beacon Capital Management has also made a second ETF available to investors: Beacon Selective Risk (NYSE Arca: BSR). The first day of trading for the BSR fund is also set for April 18, 2023. When fully invested in equities, the BSR fund looks identical to the flagship BTR fund; however, how they respond to volatility differs and means the funds can work well together as a complementary duo. The BSR fund operates with targeted loss-reduction protections at the sector level and has been designed as a supplement to BTR to help capture gains in sideways market conditions. By utilizing both funds together, with BTR typically as the primary holding, investors can add an additional layer of risk management style diversification to their portfolio.

All investing involves risk, and asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit or protection against a loss. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, might be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, as well as other risks specific to the particular ETF.

ETF shares are traded on exchanges, and are traded and priced throughout the trading day. ETFs permit an investor to purchase a selling interest in a portfolio of stocks throughout the trading day. Because ETFs trade on an exchange, ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV). The prices of ETFs may sometimes vary significantly from the NAVs of a ETFs' underlying securities. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The Beacon Tactical Risk and Beacon Selective Risk ETFs (collectively, "Beacon ETFs") are offered by prospectus. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. This and other important information can be found in each of the Beacon ETF prospectuses, which should be read carefully before investing and can be obtained here or by calling 866.439.9093.

Benchmark indices provide the standards against which investment performance is measured. The Beacon ETFs' investment objectives and strategies differs substantially from the benchmark indices. The S&P 500^® Index is a market-capitalization-weighted equity index tracking the performance of the 500 largest U.S.-traded stocks (by market value), which represent about 80% of all U.S incorporated equity securities. The Vantage 2.0 Benchmark Index is a custom blended index developed by Beacon Capital Management, Inc. and is composed of the following 11 Vanguard sector ETFs, each equally weighted at 9.09% (Percentages may not total to 100% due to rounding): Energy ETF (VDE), Materials ETF (VAW), Industrials ETF (VIS), Consumer Discretionary ETF (VCR), Consumer Staples ETF (VDC), Health Care ETF (VHT), Financials ETF (VFH), Information Technology ETF (VGT), Communication Services ETF (VOX), Utilities ETF (VPU), and Real Estate ETF (VNQ). Benchmark indices are neither managed, nor accessible through direct investment, nor subject to advisory fees, transaction costs or other expenses; it is assumed distributions are reinvested back into the index.
