The vision for Howard Capital Management, Inc. (HCM) dates back to the financial crisis of 1987.  It became clear that incurring financially devastating losses due to major market volatility and downturns was unnecessary. In 1996, through this ideology, the concept of a proprietary stoploss risk management tool called the HCM-BuyLine®, was created and since HCM’s founding in 1999, has encompassed the company’s investment and portfolio models.

The HCM-BuyLine® supports the investment strategy developed by Vance Howard, CEO and Portfolio Manager.  This strategy is both defensive and tactical and primarily seeks to protect investments through a market downturn while also pursuing opportunities for growth.

HCM-BUYLINE®

  • Designed to make strategic decisions in volatile markets
  • Innovative evolution from a one system to a multi-system model
  • Designed to be a shorter-term indicator that reacts quickly to a multitude of market factors
  • Strives to protect profits while providing a highly complex and technical quantitative trading tool for the universal client

When navigating market volatility while also striving to deliver performance and provide a hedge against inflation, tactical management can be a powerful and straightforward solution. HCM offers investors multiple investment strategies through numerous portfolio structures as well as a variety of marketing tools and support to help advisors grow their business.

In addition to developing these proprietary tools, HCM is an SEC-Registered Investment Advisory firm, offering professional money management services to clients, brokers, and broker-dealers. In 2018, HCM reached $1 Billion in Assets Under Management (AUM).

Our proprietary indicator, the HCM-BuyLine®, identified changes in the market trend. Buys and sells may or may not have occurred on the exact dates shown. These dates do not necessarily reflect transactions applied to every individual account. Also, certain products, custodians and portfolios may have a delay in execution. When the HCM-BuyLine® indicates a bull market, HCM then identifies the particular mutual funds, ETFs or individual stocks that we believe have the best return potentials in the current market from the universe of assets available in each given program and invests in them. When the HCM-BuyLine® indicates a bear market, HCM moves clients’ investments to less risky alternatives. Not every HCM-BuyLine® buy and sell will result in a profitable trade. There will be times when following the indicator results in a loss. However, there have been situations in the past in which HCM reduced clients’ exposure to equities during market downturns by following an HCM-BuyLine® signal, thereby preserving capital.
