The BX Shock Absorber Model is a defensive equity portfolio designed to capture market upside while reducing the impact of major drawdowns.
It combines three complementary tactical strategies — THOR Low Volatility SDQ, AI Funds S&P 500 AI Growth, and PMV Downside Defender — that use volatility targeting, trend signals, and systematic defensive shifts to manage risk.
The model is intended for clients near or in retirement, or for investors seeking equity exposure with greater downside protection and less reliance on traditional cap-weighted diversification.
There are 8 ETFs in the portfolio.
