BTS Asset Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth investors as well as institutional clients, including pension plans, endowments and registered investment companies. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management across a range of model portfolios (tactical, strategic, multi‑strategy and custom strategies) and also delivers model recommendations as a sub‑advisor or strategist to third‑party platforms and wrap programs.

Investment decisions are driven by a combination of quantitative and fundamental analysis; the firm uses proprietary technical indicators and daily monitoring to generate buy and sell signals and implements both tactical market‑timing (including seasonality and sector/timing strategies) and longer‑term strategic allocations. Depending on the platform or client agreement, BTS provides either full discretionary trading or non‑discretionary model signals to program sponsors and other advisers, and it may move portfolios to defensive cash or money‑market positions as signaled by its models.

Noteworthy distinctions include acting as investment manager to multiple affiliated registered mutual funds and serving investment company clients, roles that are uncommon for peer firms of this size. The firm is affiliated with a broker‑dealer that distributes its services and uses solicitors and sales representatives who share in advisory fees; it has disclosed an SEC settlement (2023) relating to hypothetical performance advertising, paid a civil penalty and agreed to update related policies, and it discloses procedures (such as fee credits and compliance reviews) intended to address related conflicts.
