New Frontier Trade Announcement

By

New Frontier decided to include the iShares minimum volatility ETF (USMV) as part of our global strategic asset allocation fund universe. The purpose is to provide additional risk management capability primarily for lower systematic equity risk portfolios in the light of likely changes in Federal Reserve policy toward interest rate management. The portfolios include a modest allocation to USMV, largely in low and balanced systematic risk portfolios, resulting in small adjustments to other allocations, primarily large cap equity and short term fixed income securities.
