BTS Tactical Fixed Income VIT Now Added to Jefferson National's Investment-Only Variable Annuity Platform

    LEXINGTON, MA, November 23, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A variable insurance trust (VIT) version of BTS Asset Management's flagship tactical fixed-income product is now available via Jefferson National's Monument Advisor, the industry's first(i) Flat-Fee(ii), Investment-Only Variable Annuity (IOVA). Jefferson National's Monument Advisor is a leading tax-advantaged investing platform designed for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and fee-based financial advisors to help their clients build more wealth through the power of tax deferral.

"Jefferson National's platform offers financial advisors a unique way to put our strategy to work for clients. We see the potential tax advantages to clients as a way to augment the value of a tactical approach," said Isaac Braley, President of BTS Asset Management.

BTS offers its flagship tactical fixed-income strategy to advisors in a variety of formats, including separate accounts, the BTS Tactical Fixed Income Fund (NASDAQ: BTFAX), and through variable annuities.

"Our objective is to ensure convenient access to this tactical approach as more and more advisors recognize the importance of fixed-income strategies that emphasize downside protection. We are excited about the opportunity of having our strategy added to Jefferson National's Monument Advisor," said Vilis Pasts, Chairman and Director of Research at BTS. "We look forward to a long-term partnership and helping their advisors during difficult markets."

Said Laurence Greenberg, President of Jefferson National, "Advisors have serious concerns about the prospect of lower returns for traditional fixed income, as rates are poised to rise from historically low levels. BTS Tactical Fixed Income attempts to address this head on by tactically allocating among different fixed income asset classes, seeking to capture higher returns with less risk than traditional strategies."

The Fund may invest in derivatives. Even a small investment in options may give rise to leverage risk, and can have a significant impact on the Fund's performance. Derivatives are subject to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Fund invests in fixed income securities, derivatives on fixed income securities or Underlying Funds that invest in fixed income securities. The value of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Defaults by fixed income issuers in which the Fund invests could also harm performance.
