Target Income Portfolio

Cabana

December 2023

The Target Income Portfolio was released at Cabana in April 2021 and is designed for investors seeking a steady stream of income, while minimizing sequence of return risk as well as overall drawdown through a tactical allocation model. The portfolio seeks a yield in excess of 4%, increasing as interest rates rise. This portfolio uses a semi-active, tactical process whereby Cabana’s Cyclical Asset Allocation Algorithm ("CARA") seeks to identify macro changes in the economic cycle and allocate investment to the assets that perform relatively well at the identified point in the cycle.

What is Target Income?

The Target Income portfolio seeks to provide consistent income to investors through the receipt of dividends and bond interest paid by the portfolios’ underlying holdings. The portfolio is all asset and comprised of entirely of ETFs. While focused on yield, the portfolio allows for capital appreciation and is diversified. The Target Income portfolio employees Cabana’s proprietary algorithm CARA throughout the economic cycle in an effort to mitigate risk and allocate investment to those particular assets that are believed to be attractive at any given point. This portfolio is actively managed and target a current SEC 30 day yield of at least 4%.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investment strategies have different degrees of risk and the corresponding potential for profit or loss. Asset allocation and diversification will not necessarily improve returns and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses.

“Target Drawdown”, “Target Beta”, “Target Leading Sector” and “Target Income” are all merely descriptive terms used to describe the general strategies and objectives of the portfolios, targets are not a guarantee, nor should they be construed to suggest safety or protection from loss. There is no guarantee that portfolio performance will remain consistent with the targeted parameter. While risk tolerance and portfolio objectives are identified on the front end for each portfolio, Cabana’s algorithm does not take any one client’s situation into account and there is no guarantee that Cabana’s strategies will be suitable for any investor. Investors and advisors should not simply rely on the name of any portfolio to determine what is suitable. It is the responsibility of investment advisors to determine what is suitable for their clients.

Cabana manages assets on multiple custodial platforms. Performance data, statistics, including drawdown, and asset allocation for specific investors will vary based upon differences in associated costs, inflows and outflows, custodial fees, and asset availability during the reporting period and may not be identical to reported data. All references to Cabana’s proprietary algorithm in this fact sheet refer to the most current version of the algorithm as of the date this fact sheet is published.

The performance returns shown in this piece are derived from a composite of accounts that executed trades in strict accordance with Cabana investment strategies. Investors will not achieve the same performance returns if their account did not execute trades in strict conformance with Cabana’s trade signals.  

Cabana’s Scenes refer to the recognized market segments utilized within CARA. “Scenes” assigned as per the judgment of The Cabana Group. Recognized Scene names and number of scenes have changed over time and may vary across investment strategies.

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the portfolio will meet its objective. The principal risks of the portfolio include: The portfolio may purchase ETFs at prices that exceed the net asset value of their underlying investments and may sell at prices below such net asset value, which will likely incur brokerage costs. Commodity-related companies may subject the ETFs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation. Investing in emerging markets involves different and greater risks, as these countries are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in more developed markets. The market value of fixed income investments may change in response to interest rate changes. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of fixed income securities generally decline. The market price of a security or instrument could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. Risks include declines in the real estate market, decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters. A portfolio and its underlying ETFs may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors. The small- and mid-capitalization companies in which an ETF invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies.  

Cabana’s judgments about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these judgments may affect the return on your investment. The quantitative model used by Cabana may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets. In addition to the risks listed above, the portfolios also include Early Close/Trading Halt Risk, Credit Risk, Equity Risk, Issuer-Specific Risk, Large-Capitalization Risk, U.S. Government Securities Risk, Limited Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk, Model and Data Risk, Operational Risk, Trading Risk and New/Smaller Fund Risk. 

The Risk Number® is a proprietary scaled index developed by Nitrogen (formerly known as “Riskalyze”)  to reflect risk for both advisors and their clients. One of the most important drivers of the Risk Number is the measurement of downside risk in a portfolio. Cabana’s Portfolios performance is submitted to Nitrogen and the portfolios are given a “Risk Number” for advisor analysis. More on these calculations can be found at www.nitrogenwealth.com.
