Can Market Timing Work?

The May 2024 Investment Planning Knowledge Circle will be held on Tuesday, May 28th at 3 pm ET.

Guest speaker Daniel Krause will be presenting, "Can Market Timing Work?"

The academic conclusion of Modern Portfolio Theory is that market timing can never work. This has become the prevailing wisdom in the wealth management industry today.

However, some HNW advisors and Family Offices have successfully run a High Yield timing - or tactical - strategy. How do they do it? How does it work? Can tactical timing be applied to other areas of the market? What are the challenges and limitations?

We talk with industry veteran Dan Krause. After witnessing first hand the success of this strategy, Dan founded Counterpoint Mutual Funds with his brother, Michael Krause, to execute the strategy. Michael is an experienced Quant investment manager and their ten year track record is impressive. We discuss these questions as it applies to both tactical timing strategies in general as well as how they implement in their own fund.
