Target Income Portfolio

Cabana

September 2023

As investors search for income and interest rates remain historically low, the need for reliable income investment strategies is more important than ever. 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. Like all Cabana portfolios and products, it utilizes the firm’s proprietary Cyclical Asset Reallocation Algorithm (“CARA”) to evaluate the repeating economic cycle and allocate assets accordingly.

The performance returns, benchmark comparisons, and metrics in this factsheet represent actual composite returns during a time when actual client funds were invested. Unless otherwise indicated, performance data, benchmark comparisons, asset allocation charts, drawdown, and other statistics are for illustrative purposes, calculated as of end of month, and shown gross of advisory fees but net of trading costs. Asset allocation may vary intramonth if a reallocation has occurred. Performance data is expressed in U.S. dollar currency and it includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Consistent with our ongoing third-party GIPS verification efforts, Cabana will, from time to time and without notice, make non-material updates and corrections to performance data which do not significantly impact performance. 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 is net of all expenses and a model advisory fee of 3%. The model fee is in excess of actual advisory fees charged and investor performance may vary materially. Morningstar’s Moderately Conservative Target Risk (http://glossary.morningstar.com/InvGlossary/morningstar-target-risk-indexes.aspx) index follows a moderately conservative equity risk preference and is based on well-established asset allocation methodology from Ibbotson Associates, a Morningstar company. SPY is an ETF that tracks the performance of 500 leading U.S. large cap companies. 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. All indexes and categories are unmanaged and an individual cannot invest directly in an index. Index returns do not include fees or expenses. Benchmark indices will likely materially differ from Cabana’s portfolio strategies.

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 at the outset 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.
