SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Standpoint Multi-Asset Fund delivered on its commitment to minimize downside risk and produce stable returns by safely navigating a volatile 2020. This past year included the fastest 30% equity market decline in history, geo-political tensions, a global pandemic, social unrest, and unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy experiments. The Fund was designed as an all-weather strategy, built to handle a wide range of market environments.

The Fund finished 2020 with a +16.3% return, staying competitive with the MSCI World Total Return Index which returned +16.5% in the same period. More impressively, the Fund experienced a max decline of only -9.3% which occurred during the Corona Crash in March, compared to a -34.0% decline for the MSCI World Index during this same period of time.
