Flexible Plan Investments Launches Its Newest Fund - The Quantified STF Fund - Based On The Price Movements Of The NASDAQ 100

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd. (Flexible Plan), one of the largest money managers in the National Association of Active Investment Managers and one of its founding members, has launched The Quantified STF Fund (QSTFX). The mutual fund seeks high appreciation on an annual basis consistent with a high tolerance for risk. The Quantified STF Fund follows the other four Quantified funds, which are derived from successful separately managed account strategies advised by Flexible Plan.

Self-adjusting Trend Following (the STF strategy) follows easily identifiable market trends, with a proprietary rule set that seeks to take advantage of both up or down market trends. Flexible Plan uses the STF strategy to allocate Fund assets among long and short equity-related investments and long fixed income–related investments. Because the market risk exposure of the STF strategy is solely based on the price action of the NASDAQ 100 Index, the STF strategy aims to outperform the NASDAQ 100 Index over the long term with less downside risk. 

"STF has been one of our most popular alternative investment strategies among our separately managed accounts. The Fund will allow us to implement the disciplined methodology with potentially lower cost investments, while deriving income from a substantial, relatively short-term, bond portfolio," said Jerry Wagner, founder & president of Flexible Plan and one of the Fund's portfolio managers.

Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd., and Advisors Preferred, LLC, serve as subadvisor and advisor to the Fund, respectively. Dr. Z. George Yang, co-chief investment officer & senior portfolio manager at Flexible Plan, is the Fund's portfolio manager together with Mr. Wagner.
