YIM Investment Management, LLC offers the following portfolio investment strategies:
Mutual funds/ETFs: These portfolios are constructed using no transaction or low transaction fee
mutual funds and ETFs. Based on market conditions, we will adjust the weightings of fixed income and
equity holdings in attempting to reduce the downside risk and enhance the returns of the portfolios.
There are four risk categories in this program:
• Income – This conservative income strategy (approximately 35% equities, 65% fixed income)
focuses on preservation of capital with exceptionally low volatility and high current yield.
This is a lower-risk investment portfolio that offers a slight hedge against inflation and a
general exposure to risk of 35%.

income), this portfolio invests half of the assets in equities for potential growth, while
maintaining the defensive strategy of asset allocation with fixed income. The general exposure
to risk is 50%.
• Moderate Growth –This is a more aggressive strategy than Moderate (approximately 70%
equities, 30% fixed income) that invests a larger portion of assets in equities to focus on
potential growth with a portion in fixed income. The general exposure to risk is 70%.
