Telephone and Data Systems Inc. [TDI]

TDI provides broad exposure to the global equity markets outside the US. The fund may include common and preferred stocks, depositary receipts, REITs, as well as other exchange-traded funds. To construct the portfolio, the funds sub-adviser employs the Dynamic Alpha Stock Selection Model, a proprietary quantitative model that seeks to construct a risk-controlled, forward-looking portfolio that adapts to changing market conditions. The model estimates returns based on each securitys risk characteristics through a three-step process that utilizes fundamental data and statistical tools. An optimization process is then used to identify the portfolio of around 100-140 securities with the highest expected return for an acceptable level of risk. The fund rebalances periodically. On December 11, 2023, TDI converted from a mutual fund to an actively managed ETF with $62 million in assets.
