Basically, L funds are risk management funds that use a time based positioning system to determine market allocation. The real scare here is because it is time based, the allocations can be detrimental to your money because the allocations could "lock in losses" when the market is swinging.....can you imagine taking a 2% hit and then because the fund says, Oh, Its an allocation day, and I need to move money to bonds, and that 2% loss gets locked in on your money?
That's why the L funds scare those who are more actively trading!
But if you actively trade, some use L funds to hedge a Lilly pad position (G Fund)!
THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!
