Seeking to Solve the Drawbacks Of Other Liquid & Traditional Alt Strategies

Minimal portfolio drag during bull markets

Combining the return streams of long/short equity and managed futures allows for significant long equity positions during strong bull markets, particularly allocations to individual securities with strong momentum and trend characteristics

Non-correlated returns

Can provide zero to low (and sometimes negative) correlation due to its ability to go long, short, or neutral across four macro asset classes: equities, currencies, commodities, and fixed income

Tax efficiency

As an ETF without a K-1, provides tax-efficient access to a liquid alternative return stream that can be used in both non-taxable and taxable accounts

Liquidity

Maintains full intraday liquidity due to traditional ETF structure

Optimized for behavioral finance

Repeatable investing rules maintain discipline during prolonged volatility, and the application to as many as 500 securities, futures, and forward contracts provides flexibility to make significant allocations to stronger areas during all market cycles – a combination that removes emotion from the decision-making process, helps clients stay invested, and can lessen performance drag

Low cost & accessibility

A competitive expense ratio (1.10%), full liquidity, and accessibility via all major custodians

Time-tested strategy

Underlying strategy has traded since 1994 as a limited partnership

Jerry Parker at Helm Of Portfolio Management Team

Jerry Parker, Portfolio Manager of TFPN ETF

JERRY PARKER has more than 35 years of systematic investing experience. He remains faithful to the lessons he learned during the famous Turtle Trading experiment in 1983, which was run by legendary commodity traders Bill Eckhardt and Richard Dennis.

In 1988, Jerry founded Chesapeake Capital Corporation, which sub-advises TFPN alongside Blueprint. Chesapeake is an innovative provider of systematic alternative investment solutions, including a limited partnership, separately managed accounts, and mutual funds.

JON ROBINSON co-founded a systematic commodity trading advisory (CTA) firm in 2006, which offered managed accounts and a managed futures fund.

His work had demonstrated the efficacy of systematic investing strategies, but he became disillusioned with the “black box” that surrounded many models. It motivated him to co-found Blueprint Investment Partners, which launched in 2013 to build a suite of investment strategies for financial advisors that would be systematic, repeatable, and transparent. The Blueprint family of companies expanded in 2019 with the addition of Blueprint Fund Management, which aims to make trend following strategies even more accessible to advisors.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The market price is the final price at which a security is traded on a given trading day. Net asset value (NAV) is value per share on a specific date or time. Returns less than one year are cumulative. The 30-day median bid/ask spread is a calculation expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth. It is computed by: identifying the ETF's national best bid and national best offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days, dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer, and identifying the median of those values.
