The Target Drawdown Professional 10 is the original of the five portfolios in Cabana's longest-running product series – its Target Drawdown Professional Series. All Target Drawdown Professional Portfolios are a variation of the Target Drawdown Professional 10 and have been constructed by adjusting the drawdown parameters to the desired volatility range. The objective of this portfolio is to seek a limited volatility range (“target drawdown”) of ten percent (10%) from peak to trough. The portfolio primarily invests in broad asset class ETFs among the five major asset classes. Allocation is distributed among major asset classes with a sensitivity to market downturn. Targeted risk parameters are managed using inversely- and non-correlated assets. Investors seeking numerically defined risk objectives and a moderate volatility allocation may find this portfolio attractive. The Target Drawdown Professional Series was designed exclusively alongside a suite of custom services for professional investment advisors and their clients. In our view, all portfolios in Cabana’s Target Drawdown Professional Series provide a viable option for most long-term investors. In September 2020 and July 2021, Cabana released two families of proprietary ETFs for use within the Target Drawdown Professional Series – Target Drawdown ETFs and Target Leading Sector ETFs (“Cabana ETFs”). All Cabana ETFs are comprised of a mix of broad asset-class ETFs. By utilizing Cabana ETFs, we strive to improve the performance, cost and tax efficiency of our actively managed Professional Series.
* Maximum Drawdown figures are gross of advisory fees. Net returns and drawdown percentages are available in the charts below.
The Target Drawdown Professional 10 is rated three stars overall by Morningstar, Inc. as of September 30, 2022. This portfolio is in Morningstar’s Tactical Allocation Category, which is made up of 349 total funds.

Cabana numerically quantifies acceptable levels of risk by identifying a “target drawdown” percentage for each portfolio at the onset of the investment process.
Drawdown is defined as the maximum loss, or amount an investment can be expected to fall, from peak to trough during adverse market conditions.
Monthly returns are used to calculate the drawdown percentage. This method of measurement creates a new "high-water mark" each time the portfolio’s value increases, which means drawdown is determined from a portfolio’s highest value, not from an investor’s starting balance.
All portfolios in the Target Drawdown Professional Series are constructed with the primary goal of minimizing losses where possible - especially losses that exceed a portfolio’s target drawdown parameter. This investment philosophy allows clients to remain fully invested at all times, set expectations for loss, and actively participate in favorable market conditions.
Since inception
Trailing returns are annualized for periods greater than one year.
This represents Cabana's most bearish scene. Holdings selected historically tend to perform well during times of excessive market drawdown. These include U.S Treasuries, gold and the U.S. dollar, among others. This scene overrides the normal operation of the first five scenes in the event of market declines beyond a predefined limit, resuming normal operation when the basic five-scene model transitions upward (to a more bullish scene) or when an upward market trend is signaled (if we are already in the most bullish scene). This scene seeks to protect against periods of unusual market conditions, including convergence of asset class correlation, unforeseen economic shock, or other black swan events. In this way, the Safety Valve is intended to complement Cabana's “target drawdown” optimization during times when excessive drawdown is threatened. When the Safety Valve is triggered, all strategies will be reallocated, and we will seek to remove beta in proportion to the drawdown of the strategy. This is "Safety Valve Level 1”. In the event CARA signals a scene change to bear market conditions while the Safety Valve is in effect, all strategies will be reallocated to seek to remove most or all beta in an effort to protect against further losses in cyclical bear market conditions. This is "Safety Valve Level 2”.

These changes will be reflected on the most recent fact sheets and independent verification reports, as applicable. Target Drawdown is identified on a gross of advisory fees but net of trading costs basis. Net performance includes a maximum investment advisory fee of 3% prior to March 1, 2017 and 2% thereafter. Morningstar’s Moderate Target Risk (http://glossary.morningstar.com/InvGlossary/morningstar-target-risk-indexes.aspx) index follows a moderate equity risk preference and is based on well-established asset allocation methodology from Ibbotson Associates, a Morningstar company.

The funds in the Morningstar Tactical Allocation Category (http://im.mstar.com/im/newhomepage/Morningstar_Category_Definitions_US_June_2016.pdf) seek to provide capital appreciation and income by actively shifting allocations across investments.

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” is merely a descriptive term used to describe the general strategy and objective of the portfolio, it is not a guarantee, nor should it be construed to suggest safety or protection from loss. There is no guarantee that portfolio performance will remain consistent with the targeted drawdown parameter. While risk tolerance and targeted “drawdown” 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. Prior to May 2020, this portfolio was known as Cabana’s Target Drawdown 10. Scenes assigned as per the judgment of The Cabana Group. Scene names and number of scenes have changed over time.
