Turning Point Advisors, LLC

Turning Point Advisors provides portfolio management and subadvisory services to a mix of individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations and other advisers. The firm constructs individualized Investment Policy Statements and manages accounts on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases, primarily using mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income and Treasury inflation‑protected securities.

The firm’s investment process combines cyclical and quantitative analysis with long‑term trading and model‑driven asset allocation, and it documents risk tolerances and portfolio targets in client IPSs. Turning Point Advisors also employs leveraged and inverse mutual funds and ETFs as part of its strategies — including a long‑leveraged approach generally limited to about 10% of investable net worth and inverse leveraged ETFs used as hedges — with trend models intended to help control risk.

What is distinctive about the firm relative to many peers is the routine inclusion of leveraged and inverse products within separately managed accounts to obtain exposure or hedge larger portfolios without using margin, options, or futures. The firm also acts as a subadviser to other advisers, has run its long‑leveraged strategy historically (including use of the Rydex Nova Fund and pursuing an independent performance audit), and requires clients to custody assets at a specified broker‑dealer, which can affect execution and reporting.
