Innovator Lunt Low Vol/High Beta Tactical ETF Outperforms S&P 500 3 Years Running

From Soltis Investment Advisors

Soltis Investment Advisors (Soltis) partner, Innovator Lunt Low Vol/High Beta Tactical ETF (LVHB), marks its third consecutive year of outperforming the S&P 500 Index over the respective period.

Lunt Capital and the Innovator’s Fund provides a U.S. large-cap strategy that has benefited Soltis’ clients over this most recent three-year period. “The Innovator Lunt Low Vol/High Beta Tactical ETF (LVHB) performance comes at a time when the majority of active managers (64.49%) in the U.S. Large-Cap Funds category have failed to outperform the S&P 500 Index for the ninth consecutive year,” states Kim Anderson, Soltis CEO. “Our Investment Committee is continuously seeking managers to add value, and Lunt Capital and Innovator Capital Management have successfully done this for our clients during the past three years. We really appreciate their unique approach,” says Anderson.

“We are pleased to see the Innovator Lunt Low Vol/High Beta Tactical ETF (LVHB) outpace the S&P 500 Index return over its initial three-year period since inception,” said Bill Wallace, CFA and Chief Investment Officer, Soltis.  “Research indicates that factor based investment strategies can sometimes experience periods of underperformance, but attractive to Soltis is that LVHB allows investors to tactically rotate between low-volatility and high-beta stocks within a tax-efficient ETF structure,” continues Bill Wallace. Lunt Capital’s focus and commitment to providing value is paramount to Soltis Investment Advisors.
