LSA will be making revisions to some of the Mutual Fund, ETF, VUL, and a select number of VA portfolios in the coming days.  Below is a schedule of when the revisions will be posted to the LSA website.

With regard to the portfolios not listed below, we will announce that schedule next week on Wednesday June 12th, 2013.

Although we do not believe this is the big shakeout in bonds that has been predicted when rates start to increase it is a precursor of what is to come when the Fed cuts QE3 & starts to increase interest rates.

The big issue moving forward is where to go with these low risk bonds that we are targeting to replace.  We will be focused on alternative solutions such as:  Market Neutral, Commodities (which also had a difficult May), Unconstrained bonds, & Multi-Alternative investments.

As always, the rationale and explanation for the changes, as well as all new fund fact sheets can be found on the LSA website under “Portfolio Management” as they are posted.
