A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR TACTICAL POSITIONING TARGETS
Each day, Meeder analyzes and ranks over 70 different factors from our short, intermediate, and long-term models. The dynamic statistical model incorporates factors covering macroeconomic, fundamental, trends and technical analysis to estimate the potential reward and marketplace risk of the equity markets. The Meeder Spectrum, Muirfield, Balanced, Moderate Allocation, and Conservative Allocation funds utilize this strategy for the Defensive Equity portion of their portfolios. The Defensive Equity Strategy guides the allocation of each fund’s equity sleeve and the actual proportion of equity investments in any fund will vary depending on the investment objectives of the fund.

QUICK TAKE
The S&P 500 is up nearly 19% from the market lows in April. Short-term equity market momentum in tandem with a strong rebound in market breadth is keeping the short-term model in very positive territory. Market RISK has improved significantly with both the VIX and MOVE indexes at or below their long-term averages. 
The intermediate-term model has turned negative, as elevated bullish options activity and increasingly bullish sentiment within tech-heavy NASDAQ newsletters over recent weeks suggest heightened investor optimism—which we view as a bearish indicator from a contrarian standpoint.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Funds cannot guarantee that they will achieve their investment objectives. Loss of money is a risk of investing in a mutual fund. The Funds are subject to stock market and liquidity risk. The Funds are also subject to foreign investment risk. These risks, as well as others, may occur during the time you hold shares of the funds.
