Company Description
The Alexis Practical Tactical ETF (LEXI) is an exchange-traded fund managed by Alexis Investment Partners, LLC, a registered investment advisor based in Montgomery, Texas. LEXI trades on the Nasdaq exchange and is designed as a tactical allocation strategy that can adjust its exposure across multiple asset classes over time. According to the fund’s sponsor, the ETF seeks to add value relative to its benchmark by emphasizing participation in rising markets versus falling markets and by adapting to changing leadership trends across asset classes.
The fund is benchmarked against a globally diversified mix of three widely followed market indexes: the Morningstar Global Markets Index, the S&P 500 Index, and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index. The benchmark blend consists of a 35% allocation to the Morningstar Global Markets Index, 35% to the S&P 500 Index, and 30% to the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index. The Morningstar Global Markets Index measures the performance of stocks in developed and emerging markets worldwide, while the S&P 500 Index tracks large-cap U.S. equities and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index broadly tracks the U.S. investment-grade bond market.
Based on the tactical nature of the strategy, the fund’s sponsor states that investors can expect LEXI’s allocation to vary materially from its benchmark over time. The portfolio may incorporate a broad range of asset classes, and the managers describe the ETF as nimble and flexible. They indicate that the strategy has the ability to invest in alternative asset classes such as gold and real estate investment trusts (REITs), in addition to exposure to stocks and bonds.
Management of the Alexis Practical Tactical ETF is handled by a father–daughter team, Jason Browne and Alexis Browne Roberts. They report that the ETF structure allows their tactical approach to be accessible to a broader investor base, including other financial advisors. According to statements from Alexis Investment Partners, the firm uses LEXI as the tactical portion of private client portfolios and notes that the managers invest their own personal assets exclusively in the fund.
Alexis Investment Partners, LLC describes itself as an RIA serving individual investors, businesses, and other advisors through investment management and comprehensive financial planning. Within that broader advisory practice, the Alexis Practical Tactical ETF represents the firm’s tactical investing approach in an exchange-traded format. The firm’s stated vision includes partnering with other financial advisors who want to implement a tactical sleeve that can complement strategically allocated and periodically rebalanced portfolios, with the goal of enhancing diversification, risk management, and performance potential.
The fund’s sponsor emphasizes that LEXI is intended for investors who understand the risks of tactical allocation and multi-asset investing. Public communications about the fund highlight that investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal, and that past performance is not an indicator of future returns. Prospective investors are directed to review the fund’s prospectus for details on investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing.
In terms of recognition, the Alexis Practical Tactical ETF has reported receiving a 5-star Morningstar Rating in the Tactical Allocation category after it established a three-year performance history. The Morningstar star rating is based on a risk-adjusted return measure that places more emphasis on downward variations and rewards consistency. Funds are compared within their category, and the top 10% receive 5 stars, followed by tiered ratings for the remaining funds. This rating framework is described by Morningstar as a way to compare funds with similar investment mandates.
LEXI’s sponsor notes that the ETF is intended to be used by investors and advisors as a tactical component within diversified portfolios. Because the fund can adjust its allocation relative to its blended benchmark and can incorporate alternative asset classes alongside traditional stocks and bonds, it may appeal to those seeking a rules-based or manager-driven tactical approach rather than a static allocation. However, all such uses are subject to the risks outlined in the fund’s offering documents.
