Three Flagship Dividend-Focused Strategies 

Liberty One was founded by a small group of high-producing financial advisors who could not find what they were looking for in traditional mutual funds and ETFs.  Broad-based investment vehicles own hundreds, sometimes even thousands of underlying holdings which tend to behave like the broad market.  They were looking for a more precise style of management. Since they could not find it, they created it. 

We believe that every follower of Christ should at the very least be presented with the opportunity to invest his or her resources in a manner that is in alignment with and honors their faith values. The LightPoint™ Portfolios allow you to do just that.

LightPoint™ Portfolios are turn-key, faith-based investing strategies that allow advisors to offer values-aligned portfolios while they focus on serving their Christian clients.

Logan Capital Management, Inc. is a 100% privately-owned corporation formed in 1993 whose Founding Principals came together because of a common philosophy of growth investing. Logan's original investment strategies were mid-to-large Growth and Large Cap Growth. The firm carefully added strategies to balance the business, patiently growing into the healthy diversified investment management company. Today, Logan Capital has a mix of growth, value, international and fixed income strategies that serve our institutional clients and partners without any sacrifice of the high-quality personal service to which our clients have grown accustomed.

Main Management's investment strategies offer investors a dual approach to optimizing returns and managing risk. Our Active strategy capitalizes on the efficiency of sectors over single stocks, employing a disciplined process to identify undervalued market sectors trading below historical averages. With a keen understanding of mean reversion dynamics, we strategically adjust sector allocations relative to the S&P 500, maximizing potential returns.

Complementing this, our BuyWrite strategy aims to deliver high single-digit to low double-digit returns in favorable markets, while providing protection during downturns. We achieve this by leveraging fundamental mean reversion analysis to select a portfolio of global ETFs and employing a covered call writing strategy to mitigate volatility while paying out approx. 50bps income a month.
