Our Global Market Strategies

Our strategies are designed to participate during up markets while protecting capital during down markets. We manage five global tactical strategies across the reward to risk scale that can accommodate the most aggressive investors to the most conservative investors.

We work with a large global universe of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) which includes: U.S. stocks and bonds, foreign stocks and bonds, commodities, REITs, MLPs and currencies. This gives us more opportunities to make money during up and down markets. The Titan Focus 20 strategy utilizes the same tactical approach as our ETF strategies using individual stocks.

Titan Capital Management, LLC offers the following global tactical strategies:

Titan Focus 20

Titan Ultra Growth

Titan Moderate Growth

Titan Conservative Growth

Risk-Adjusted Returns

It is important for investors to look at portfolio returns not only in absolute terms, but on a risk-adjusted basis as well. A good way to measure risk-adjusted returns is to take the annual return and divide it by the maximum drawdown (peak to trough losses). This is called the MAR Ratio. For example, if you have a strategy that generates annual returns of 10% with a 50% drawdown, you take 10 and divide it by 50 which would give you a MAR Ratio of 0.20. A 10% annual return with a 20% drawdown would result in a MAR Ratio of 0.50 which would outperform the first strategy by 2.5 times on a risk-adjusted basis. You would never know this if you only looked at the 10% annual returns that each strategy generated.

MAR Ratio

The higher the MAR Ratio, the better the risk-adjusted returns. For our strategies we seek MAR Ratios between 0.50 and 1, which means that for a 10% annual return we would like to see maximum drawdowns in the 10 to 20% range, not the 40 to 60% drawdowns that most investors have experienced with traditional strategies.
