One signal. Three portfolio expressions.

The Consensus Timing Model produces the regime signal. CTM, CTM Max and CTM Shariah apply it through different exposure rules, risk profiles and mandate constraints — all within US equity indices.

CTM

Balanced risk profile

The Consensus Timing Model (CTM) reads market conditions from six categories of inputs, delivers a regime verdict and sets exposure once a day. It aims to participate in rising equity markets while avoiding the worst of the bears. Its live application is the Live Managed Account, and the model has evolved since, most recently in 2021 and 2026.

Approach
Fully systematic. No human override.
Signal
One signal every day: long, cash or short

CTM Max

Higher risk profile

CTM Max reads exactly the same signal as CTM. The philosophy, the foundations and the inputs do not change. What changes is how the portfolio responds to it: CTM Max does not graduate exposure. It holds 150% long in any bullish regime, 100% cash when the signal is uncertain, and 150% short in a bearish regime — full commitment to the signal, not a scaled response.

The research behind this: measured conservatively, on a balanced basis or aggressively, most of CTM's alpha has come from the periods spent at 150% long or fully short, not from the intermediate 50% or 100% long positions. CTM Max is built for investors who want that full commitment rather than a graduated one.confirm exact research framing with JP/Richard

It is a different risk profile for a different type of investor, not a different view of the market. Higher exposure increases both potential gains and potential losses, and drawdowns may be deeper than with CTM.compliance wording

CTM scales exposure with the conviction of the signal. CTM Max keeps the same signal but does not graduate: it holds 150% long in any bullish regime, 100% cash when the signal is uncertain, and 150% short in a bearish regime. The signal, its inputs and its exit discipline are unchanged.

CTM Shariah

CTM Shariah applies the proprietary regime model through a Shariah-compliant, long-or-cash US equity portfolio. It uses Shariah-screened equities, riba-free cash, no short selling and no interest-bearing leverage.

The solution is designed for qualified investors seeking systematic regime management within explicit Shariah constraints. The performance evidence currently available is hypothetical and backtested, not a live track record.

2022: +37.3% versus −19.4%
The Live Managed Account gained 37.3% in the year the S&P 500 fell 19.4%, the year that shows the strategy doing what it is designed to do.
Where it lags
In sustained uptrends with few drawdowns, a regime strategy can trail a static long position. Over three years to August 2026, the Live Managed Account returned +13.3% a year versus +19.5% for the S&P 500.

Figures shown are for CTM, not CTM Max. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Live Managed Account statistics are computed on month-end values, so intra-month drawdowns are not captured. Back-tested statistics use daily data and are not directly comparable. Beta and alpha are estimated from monthly returns with a low R-squared and should be read as directional.
