As the new administration begins to layout their agenda and we continue to reopen from COVID-19 concerns, as vaccines find their way into more arms, LSA is implementing updated revisions to all of the model portfolios over the next three weeks. These changes will impact all solutions including the NTF portfolios. In the LSA 2021 Outlook presentation, a number of investment themes were laid out that we would be focused on in 2021. Due to the recent weakness in fixed income, we will be making some model changes. We will be releasing our updates in three blocks starting with Mutual fund models, second we will focus on direct mutual fund models and ETF solutions, and finally we will be releasing all variable annuity and VUL solutions. Below you will find a breakdown of the upcoming changes:
