Relativity Capital Advisors · Introducing Sentinel

Own the market when it pays you.
Step aside when it doesn’t.

Sentinel is a three-portfolio system, always on watch, that reads the market every day and decides whether to own growth or step aside toward safety — designed specifically for the periods of market stress most portfolios aren’t built for.

01 · The Quiet Work

Twenty years of work, done where no one could see it.

For more than twenty years, I read the market the way the old veterans did — measuring not just where it was, but how much of it was actually healthy underneath. While most of the industry settled for “stay the course,” I built breadth and relative-strength data by hand, sector by sector, and used that work to help real families through real bear markets. I just never made a show of it.

Back in 2003, I bought a clunky piece of software with a “neural networks” add-on — an ancestor of today’s AI. It barely worked, but I could see the idea hiding inside it. The computers just weren’t ready. So I did it the long way, for two decades.

This past year, the tools finally caught up to the idea I’d been chasing since 2003 — and the Deep Power engine is the result. I didn’t change what I believe about markets. I finally got to prove it. Today, that engine drives every Sentinel portfolio.

02 · What It Is — and What It Isn’t

It’s not more trading. It’s more attention.

It’s a patient system, not a frantic one. It trades about eight times a year; some years, not at all. The base owns only a handful of the largest, most liquid funds in the world — no leverage, no shorting. Think of a guard on duty: calm and watchful almost all the time, decisive on the rare day it matters.

It is

A patient, rules-based regime system
A guard on duty — calm, watchful, decisive only when it matters
A handful of the largest, most liquid ETFs — no leverage, no shorting in the base
Data- and discipline-driven, every single day
Built to manage risk and aim to reduce time underwater
Run by the person you actually talk to

It is not

Day-trading or chasing ticks
Someone glued to a screen making bets all day
Exotic, illiquid, or high-risk instruments
Gut calls, hunches, or headline-chasing
A guarantee against loss
A faceless fund or a call center

03 · Built for the Storms

Every day, one disciplined question.

Most approaches ride every downturn the whole way down because no one’s watching. Sentinel is designed to do the opposite — to step toward safety when the data turns, and lean back in as conditions recover.

When conditions favor growth

Own the market

Lean into strength. Hold a small set of the largest, most liquid funds in the world and let healthy markets do what they do — quietly, without leverage.

When the data turns

Step aside toward safety

Move to defensive ground while stress works through the market. Not a prediction — a disciplined response to what the data is actually saying.

It’s built for the kind of market stress most portfolios simply aren’t designed for — and it follows the data, not the headlines and not a gut feeling.

04 · The Three Portfolios

One signal. Three ways to stand watch.

Choose the posture that fits you — from the unlevered base signal to a leveraged push. Every one runs on the same Deep Power engine; they differ only in how far they lean.

Sentinel Vantage

Most conservative

The signal in its purest form, unlevered — the fewest moves, and your steady vantage point at the conservative end of the lineup.

Sentinel Edge

A step more active

Adds a sub-sector gate to catch more of the market’s turns — a little more active, leaning further into strength.

Sentinel Strike

Most aggressive

The Edge approach, amplified with leveraged funds. The boldest posture — built for risk-tolerant, tax-advantaged accounts.

Strike uses leveraged ETFs and carries materially higher risk; it is intended only for risk-tolerant, tax-advantaged accounts. Every portfolio is managed in your own account at a major custodian, in your name — we manage it, we never hold it.

05 · We Win Together

Paid to keep you in the right place — not to gather accounts.

Sentinel is a straight management fee — 2% a year on Vantage and Edge, 3% on Strike. No performance fee, no commissions.

I’d rather be in here doing the research than out looking for the next client. Do the work well, and the rest takes care of itself — for both of us.

06 · Who It’s For

Offered privately. On purpose.

Sentinel is offered privately to a limited number of clients, with a $100,000 minimum per account. It isn’t posted or broadcast — the full picture is shared one-on-one.

Offered privately

Offered to a limited number of clients, with a $100,000 minimum per Sentinel account — the people it’s actually built for. Keeping it selective is what makes this level of attention possible.

II.

Your own account, in your name

Your money sits in your own account at a major custodian — Schwab or Interactive Brokers. You can see it every day. We manage it; we never hold it.

III.

Start with a slice

You don’t have to move everything. Put a portion in and let it prove itself to you. No countdown, no hard sell — we’d rather you stay twenty years than sign today.

07 · Edge, Not Perfection

Edge, not perfection.

I’d rather we start with well-informed expectations than oversold ones.

Sentinel is new. It went live with a first group of client accounts in July 2026, so the live record is measured in weeks — far too short to tell you anything. The deeper evidence I’ll show you is rigorous but historical. What I did do is spend months trying to break it: testing it across decades of market history it had never seen, on data that honestly includes the companies that didn’t survive, doing everything I could think of to expose any luck in it. It held.

But I want you coming in expecting an edge, not magic. Markets carry risk, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. What I offer is the discipline: aiming to be in the right place more often, out of the wrong place more often, and letting that add up over time.

If anyone promises you perfection, walk away.
