Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Individual portfolio returns are calculated monthly in U.S. dollars. Policies for valuing portfolios and calculating performance are available upon request. These returns represent investors domiciled primarily in the United States. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance reflects the re-investment of dividends and other earnings.

Net returns are presented net of actual management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Actual investment advisory fees incurred by clients may vary.

Composite returns are calculated monthly, which are described in greater detail in the firm’s Form ADV, Part 2A, using the time weighted total rate of return methodology. Monthly returns are geometrically linked to calculate quarterly and annual returns. As fees are deducted quarterly, the compounding effect will be to increase or decrease their impact by an amount directly related to gross portfolio performance, and dependent on direction, magnitude, and order of returns. For example, on a portfolio with a 2% annual fee, if gross performance is 10%, and performance is equally distributed across all four quarters, the compounding effect of the fees will result in net annual performance of 7.81%. No leverage, derivatives, or shorts are used. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

There can be no assurance that the purchase of the securities in these portfolios will be profitable, either individually or in the aggregate, or that such purchases will be more profitable than alternative investments. Investment in any Donoghue Forlines Global Tactical Portfolio, or any other investment or investment strategy involves risk, including the loss of principal; and there is no guarantee that investment in Donoghue Forlines Portfolios, or any other investment strategy will be profitable for a client’s or prospective client’s portfolio.

The composite strategy provides diversified exposure to various asset classes such as equities, fixed income, and alternatives utilizing liquid exchange traded products. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
