A Decade of Staying Tactical, Not Traditional
The 10th Anniversary of the HCM Tactical Growth Fund
When we launched the HCM Tactical Growth Fund (HCMGX) in 2014, it was with the intention of offering investors an active and differentiated approach to seeking long-term capital appreciation with added downside risk management – within a mutual fund. Ten years later, the Fund’s history and track record stand as a testament of the value of a post-modern approach to portfolio management.
As we commemorate the Fund’s 10th anniversary in July, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on its journey and the pivotal role it can potentially play in a well-rounded investment portfolio.
10 Standout Years of Tactical Growth
By remaining true to our non-emotional, quantitative investment approach and focusing directly on active tactical growth, the fund has consistently adapted to the rapidly shifting and ever-changing market conditions that have defined the last decade. And in doing so, the tactical approach and investment tenets have become a reliable way for investors to generate results while effectively managing many risks.

Mutual funds involve risk including possible loss of principal. When the Fund is out of the market and in cash or cash equivalents, there is a risk that the market will begin to rise rapidly and may cause the Fund to miss capturing the initial returns of changing market conditions. The mutual funds in which the Fund may invest may use leverage. Using leverage can magnify a mutual fund’s potential for gain or loss and therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on a mutual fund’s share price. The Fund may be subject to the risk that its assets are invested in a particular sector or group of sectors in the economy and as a result, the value of the Fund may be adversely impacted by events or developments in a sector or group of sectors.
