Guardian allocations utilize the active/defensive style GIM has become known for. This diversified style attempts to minimize portfolio loss during difficult or “bear” markets and seeks to provide risk adjusted returns that meet or exceed the returns of similarly allocated passive managers. The Guardian allocations range from the conservative Fixed Income to the more aggressive Stock, Sector and Country allocations. Guardian allocations are designed for investors who place more emphasis on their desire for principal preservation.
